Iowa State defensive coordinator Jon Heacock (hay-cock) hopes added experience helps that unit become more consistent next season. Heacock says added depth has also shown up during spring drills.

ISU gave up just over 24 and-a-half points in Big 12 play last season in finishing with a record of 7-6.

Heacock says consistency comes from building habits.

The Cyclones finished third in the Big 12 in defense last season.

Iowa State’s Spring Game is April 20th.
