Great video can tell you did your research, most videos about iowa state are inaccurate or it’s just fairly obvious they didn’t spend much time digging into the team. Got a like from me!

Great analysis. The Cyclones have the talents, but mentally they gotta take the next step - raising their game vs better teams and not playing down to the level of lesser ones. They gotta believe they belong among the top dogs, not only in the conference, but also the country.

This analysis completely misses Carson Hansen. He’s going to be a gamer this year.

A key for the secondary is Verdon staying healthy. The secondary would take a large step backwards last year when he wasn't in the lineup. The biggest wild card, and the one what will have the greatest effect on whether they win 7 or 10 games is the offensive line. When they brought in Ryan Clanton, they had to do a wholesale philosophical change in body types to match the scheme. You had someone who started very early in their career in Darrell Simmons who couldn't make the adjustment and transferred out when he lost his spot to Freshman James Neal. They brought in a new S&C coach at the time they hired Clanton as well. The offensive line has been a thorn in Campell's side since he's gotten here and the last position group to break through and play at the level necessary. I think this is the year they finally do, and if they do, it could be a magical season... and it won't matter who the running backs are. Eli Green will be the biggest surprise at receiver.

Carson Hansen or possibly Dylan Lee are the #2 competition at RB.

Really good stuff here, Joe. Iowa State has an Elite group of safeties and Becht has some weapons to use on offense. OL play and the ability to create pressure will be the key for the Cyclones this season.

Hopefully we don't wait until October to start playing well 🙏☝️😜

Love your videos man. Keep up the good work.

Army went to spread last year, I think I heard they’re going back to triple but just to be clear they definitely were a normal college offense.

...where does this guy's podcast originate from? ...anybody know?

There’s 4 definite nfl players in that secondary

this guy knows ball

FYI Cyclones play a 3-3-5, Mclaughlin broke his leg, Cooper Ebel sounds like he will taking Will's place.

I think all Cyclone fans were pleasantly surprised by the quality of play in 2023. And the team just kept getting better throughout the season. No idea if there will be a sophmore slump this fall. I hope not. In fact I expect this team to get better as the season moves along. And any talk about Matt Campbell leaving is nonsense. He and his family are quite comfortable in Ames right now. Maybe that changes when the kids are old enough to be out of the house.

Man it's every other team has hope or at least a clear vision. Must be nice.
