Iowa State’s defense showed up yet again last weekend making Jalon Daniels pay for making us look silly last year. The defense forced KU to try and win through the air while applying pressure to keep Daniels uncomfortable. This week will be a rinse and repeat for them. Iowa State I’m going to go ahead […]

Domination is another way to put it, as the Cyclones handled Kansas at home, putting the losing streak firmly in the rearview mirror. From the jump Iowa State moved the ball easily, especially on the ground. The opening drive resulted in a touchdown powered by Carson Hansen, and the Cyclones would follow that up with […]

AT LONG LAST Way back in 2007, the modern block I-State logo was born to a mostly tepid response among Cyclone fans.

I need to put credit where credit is due, and that is the defense showed up in Fort Worth against the Horned Frogs a few weeks back. Iowa State looked solid, had very few broken coverages, played with grit, and got this amazing sound bite that makes me hope Jon Heacock never leaves. Iowa State […]
