One upset could send Cyclones bowling

Sports

June 15th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

At his farewell news conference former Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said he was leaving behind a bowl team. Publisher and college football prognosticator Phil Steele says for that to happen the Cyclones will need to post one upset. ISU will be looking to make progress under first year coach Matt Campbell. Steele expects Iowa State to make progress after a 3-9 record in 2015.

One concern for the Cyclones is a lack of experience along the offensive line. Steele says Campbell’s staff may be the right one to overcome that. Iowa State opens the season at home on September third against Northern Iowa. Phil Steele’s College Football Preview Magazine hits the newsstands on June 28.
