If he could do half of what he did at Auburn this year at ISU, then I will be happy. Just a respectable defense would help soooooooo much.

But yes, the stats look good. As I said in another thread, if he can split the difference between the averages he had last year and the averages ISU had last year (which would be about 25 points/game), ISU will be in a LOT of football games. :biggrin:

Re: Rhoade's Auburn stats

The last guy we brought in to coach ran some pretty stout defenses too. Of course I'm a little more inclined to believe that it was wasn't completely based on the quality of the players with PR. There's no doubt that he knows how to run a defense, but can he run a defense with the guys he has? I think he can make it work until his recruits start showing up, but everything is really hinging on whether or not he can mold the clay that he's been handed.

All we want is a top 100 defense.

Defense can be played at Iowa State. I've seen it happen before. 2004 and 2005 were good examples of that

Compair the resumes of Chizik and Rhoads. I think they are similar. Chizik does have 2 13-0 seasons, but other than that they are about equal, IMO. Rhoads has coached with some great FB coaches and is not one to job jump. JP may have got a steal, IMO, he could have got a coach before he really got wanted. But I have been drinking Cy-aid for 2 days now.

Will there be a quiz on the spelling later?

I don't think that Rhoads will be a miracle worker without decent personnel--one thing we seemed to lack at certain positions last season. And I'm not talking about elite or dominant, just "decent".
