The 16th-ranked 10-2 (7-2) Iowa State Cyclones play against the 12th-ranked 10-2 (7-2) Arizona State Sun Devils at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for the Big 12 Conference Championship. The Big 12 Championship will be crucial for both teams since only one, the winner of this game, possibly gets the 4th seed and the first-round BYE in the College Football Playoff. The over/under is 49.5 points, while the Cyclones are 1.5-point favorites.
The Iowa State Cyclones star TE hasn’t played since Week 8

Cyclones’ star tight end Benjamin Brahmer suffered an apparent right leg injury during the second quarter against the UCF Knights in Week 8. Brahmer limped off the field and went to the locker room. He was later spotted wearing a brace and crutches on his right leg. Since then, the tight end has missed their last five games of the regular season.
What is his game status for the Big 12 Championship?

According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Benjamin Brahmer, who is questionable, will attempt to play against the Sun Devils. Currently, Brahmer is suited up and is working out with the team during pre-game warmups, which is encouraging news about the tight end’s availability.
Iowa State tight end Benjamin Brahmer is expected to attempt to return today for Iowa State, sources tell me and @max_olson . He’s been out since Oct. 19 since the UCF game. He’s a key playmaker for the Cyclones. pic.twitter.com/AOe6bjUrL2
