ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —  Matt Campbell has never put much thought into being an NFL coach, even though several pro teams expressed interest in the 39-year-old Iowa State coach in the past year.Campbell is going into his fourth season at Iowa State. The Cyclones, coming off consecutive 8-5 seasons, were picked third in the preseason Big 12 poll — behind only four-time defending champion Oklahoma and Texas, the two teams who played in the league championship game last season.

Campbell was Toledo’s head coach for five seasons before going to Iowa State.

The second game of the night at 7:00pm will feature 5th ranked Southeast Warren Warhawks (26-5) against the Nodaway Valley Wolverines (15-10). The Wolverines gave the Warhawks their first loss of the season back on June 28th with a 5-4 win in Greenfield. The Wolverines won their District Quarterfinal over Ankeny Christian on Saturday 3-2.
