Going into Thursday night, Iowa State was returning nine starters on offense and five starters on defense, coming off their first bowl win since 2004. However, they also had the third toughest schedule in all of college football, including at No. 9 Iowa, K-State in Kansas City, No. 24 Utah, at No. 5 Texas, at No. 7 Oklahoma, and No. 8 Nebraska at home. Most people were looking down, seeing a good Cyclone team wouldn't get the chance to go bowling this winter because of this brutal schedule. Late Thursday night, heads were turned. Sure, Ohio State, Miami, and USC got the highlights on ESPN, but the state of Iowa knows what they have right now. Austen Arnaud showed a ton of improvement from last year, completing over 75

Five Cyclones caught three or more balls, and the Iowa State defense, surprisingly, bent but only broke once. Ten points against a potential All-American running back in Chad Spann? We'll take it—especially with a solid Iowa State offense. I've said it for weeks/months now, but 403 yards and a 27-10 victory later, people are starting to look. If you aren't, start looking now. If anyone so much as thinks that Iowa is going to walk all over ISU next Saturday, then you are naive, or didn't watch the game, or you're just a stubborn Hawkeye fan. "Congrats, you just beat a MAC team by 17..." This coming from the fans that root for the team that beat the FCS Northern...(Read Full Article)
