Iowa State has dropped out of the AP football poll. The Cyclones were steamrolled in the opening half in a 45-36 loss to Kansas in Arrowhead Stadium. It was ISU’s second straight loss after a 7-0 start and the Cyclones will look to bounce back Saturday night at home against Cincinnati.

That’s Cyclone coach Matt Campbell. Iowa State’s usually reliable defense was torched by the Jayhawks, who rolled up 532 yards of offense to earn just their third win of the season and Campbell says the KU offense took advantage of ISU’s inexperience.
