This was his first start. Came in and blew the Cowboys away with a bunch of big runs. Over his career he ran less and less. But he’s more than capable.
I recall that BP did not start that game. Zeb Noland was ineffectual, the Cyclones were going nowhere. Kyle Kempt, a walk-on who beat Oklahoma in Norman the year previous, had been tutoring BP all fall.
Again, iirc, on the sideline Kyle approached Matt Campbell and told him that Brock is "ready for the moment." CMC inserted BP into the game and the rest is history, as they say.
So, Brock started 3-1/2 years at Iowa State. Sort of why it bugs me that tv announcers last fall spoke about Rocco beating Brock's freshman records. Love Rocco, great young man, but the comparison is not just, imho.
Kyle Kempt is a wonderful Cyclone, too, love the guy. He's on staff still at ISU. So, Cyclones, remember this day?
