Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says dramatic changes are not going to help the Iowa State offense. The Cyclones rank last in the Big 12 in scoring, rushing and total offense heading into Saturday’s game at Texas.
Campbell says it is a lack of consistency and not a lack of talent.
Campbell is confident the offense will make progress.
The Cyclones visit a Texas team that is making strides under second year coach Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns are coming off a 49-0 win over Oklahoma.
Campbell says the Longhorns are better on both sides of the ball.
Expectations are high for the Iowa State women’s basketball team. After a 28 win season that included a trip to the Sweet-16 the Cyclones are the preseason favorite to win the Big 12.
That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. Ashley Joens took advantage of the extra year and was voted the league’s preseason player of the year.
The Cyclones open November seventh against Cleveland State.
