He brought up something that struck me as well. Campbell is calling (some?) plays? He said the int by Rocco was his fault. Definitely noteworthy

It’s always fun to hear Ben Bruns drool over the Cyclone OL.

Latest gem: “Twenty-two year old Ben Bruns is nowhere near as good as Trevor Buhr”.

Twenty-two year old Ben Bruns was what, a third team All American?
He said 19 year old Ben Bruns is nowhere near as good as Trevor Buhr

They also mentioned the young LBs stepping up. Talked about how thin we are there and at one point injury wise we were down 5 different LBs this year? I need caught up on this…….

I knew we were down Caleb (likely for the year) and Will (returning soon? Can someone speak to this?) Brezena is back…Who else is out?

Was Buhr playing T or G?

After years of listening to CMC, I wouldn’t expect McLaughlin back before a bowl game—if then.

Any earlier is just gravy.

The very first thing I recall Bruns saying as a sideline reporter was that KO, who was playing LT for ISU, would be better off inside.

How’d that turn out?
WTF does that have to do with anything? :D

He’s a notorious sunshine pumper, especially when it comes to O line play. Wish somebody with a more jaundiced eye would take over the podcast.

Just because he's not super negative doesn't mean he's some crazy sunshine pumper. He does know more about the O-line than any of us, so when he talks about specific things, he's likely right.
