    Offense Returning Production

    I think the OL will be key this season... if we can improve up front, we can have a really special season imho. maybe it's the play calling? not really sure... my only point was, I don't blame the backs. Last season, ISU was 54th in yds per attempt (out of 69 "power" teams). When you break...

    ISU #1 Returning Production In Nation

    I agree that this is promising... I looked this up a few years ago when they initially started talking about the 12 team playoff. I think the issue will be the years where you only see OU or OU/tex. I understand that 1 team will make it and that there are new B12 teams that will help offset...

    Offense Returning Production

    Took me a while to get back to this... I posted the Defensive breakdown here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/defense-returning-production.285534/ Next, I took a look at the Offense. Wide Receiver: Like most of the team, the majority of the production is returning here and we also...

    Defense Returning Production

    I will get to the offense soon… traveling right now. Hope I can put it together next weekend.

    Defense Returning Production

    I thought it would be interesting to see the playing time / production ISU has coming back next year - took a deep dive on the Defense first. Overall, they lost two starters on Defense (TJ Tampa, Gerry Vaughn). They really did not lose much (even in the two deep) other than those two. Corner...

    RECRUITING: Iowa State earns commitment from Army WR transfer

    My GUESS is 2 years... 2020: First year he only played 2 games and it was 2020 (so free COVID year) 2021/2022: Used two years of eligibility (over 4 games each year) 2023: Appears to have only played in 4 games meaning he may have asked to red shirt in order to transfer. (Note that he led Army...

    I'll gladly eat crow...

    So, with 1:12 to play and again with 30 seconds left, and finally with 10.7 seconds left, we come out of a timeout on defense, I was a little surprised to see Momcilovic on the floor each time. Thought maybe they go offense/defense subs there. But, it worked out fine.. just thought it was...

    I'll gladly eat crow...

    Love Momcilovic! Just want them to get him as many quality looks as they can. Make teams try to take him away and things will get easier for everyone else. He got some shots at OU at the end of that one. They just didn’t fall. I’ll take my chances with Milan any game. He’s the best shooter on...

    B12 Unbalanced Schedules (from the Williams & Blum conversation)

    This is an interesting view too... I took a look at the BYU vs. ISU schedules since those were ranked #1 and #14 by BPI. If you break down the B12 into tiers based on betting odds like this: Then here is a compare of the two schedules: Basically, ISU plays two more games vs. tier 1...

    B12 Unbalanced Schedules (from the Williams & Blum conversation)

    Updated now that all teams only have their 18 B12 games remaining (Oklahoma State played Chicago St last night). So, they went from 13th to 5th. Others really didn't change much. I agree with many of the posts... KU is WAY undervalued by this metric. I think Houston is WAY over valued as well...

    B12 Unbalanced Schedules (from the Williams & Blum conversation)

    That is correct… again.. based on bpi. I don’t think this is a perfect. But it’s one measure. Right now it shows the 14 B12 schedules as being the 14 most difficult to go schedules in the country.

    B12 Unbalanced Schedules (from the Williams & Blum conversation)

    I thought one interesting way to see which teams in the conference got the hardest / easiest conference schedules (based on the Williams & Blum conversation today) would be to look at the ESPN BPI rankings. JP must have done something to piss off Brett Yormark... the remaining B12 schedules are...

    ISU Win/Loss Projections ESPN FPI

    I think there are a couple key points... 1) I don't think the power rankings do a very good job of adjusting for year to year changes in roster / coaches and it is similar to vegas power ratings where early in the season last years performance impacts this a lot. So, iowa may be a bit under...
