Iowa State safety Jeremiah Cooper says there is a sense of urgency as the Cyclones prepare for Saturday night’s game at home against Cincinnati. After starting the season 7-0 the Cyclones have dropped games to Texas Tech and Kansas.

The ISU defense was steamrolled in the first half against Kansas and communication issues were a reason.

Cooper says led by quarterback Brendan Sorsby says Cincinnati has a dangerous offense.

With the finish line of a long regular season in sight Cooper says the key is taking care of your body and trying to stay fresh.
