Absolutely, Meyer and Arnaud had padded stats but were never really that good. Purdy is a really good talent and for him to perform as he did as a true freshman was great. I was made fun of in the first round pick thread when I said.....hes got a legit shot by his Junior/Senior year to be considered in the first round. Its not hard to see it

I don’t know about all that I just like that he is actually a good college QB.

There's been guys with less tools than he has that have done it actually....its not the expectation by any means but he's got a shot IMO

It's great that there are 15 ISU players on his all Big XII team, but isn't the big takeaway that he has ISU as his #4 surprise team and two of his power ratings have ISU going 11-1. I mean... holy ****!

Am I the only one terrified of this season? This seems like the ultimate ISU nut punch scenario.

I will never get this. Never. Maybe you can get those Nut Cup specs from CW. That would be SO COOL. Dumbest ******* **** ever. Go listen to some more KXNO.

I know I should be and don't kid yourself, I will have the Jewel Safe out and ready to go this fall. What makes it different is how this program handled what was a pretty shaky start last fall. We might not reach expectations but we won't collapse.

The largest national pundit in college football gives Iowa State the highest praise it's received in its entire 125 year history.... first post: negative criticism.

Seriously he thinks we've got a shot to go 11-1. Why be negative?
Whose being negative? Just just because I'm not booking Tickets for the NCG I'm being negative? Most rational fans would agree that the OL last year was not good and suddenly the same magazine who regularly put us in the cellar has is at 11-1 they are the gospel? What about the times they had us 8th and we surprised and went to a bowl game. They weren't credible then but now they are the truth.

The last 3 times before this last fall that ISU went to a bowl game they finished in a group tied for the 4th through 7th places, 8th place and 9th place so those two results aren't mutually exclusive.

We've certainly been trained to expect that as fans. Its going to take a long time to undo decades of disappointment following expectations. Campbell is certainly doing everything he can to undo that.

11 wins would be insane. ****, i'd be thrilled with 9 wins.
