## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones eye Big 12 glory with a revamped defense set to shake up college football. Can Jesse Bobbitt and Jimmy Rogers turn a rebuilt roster into one of the nation’s toughest units—and make offense take a backseat? Nick Marovets breaks down the switch to a four-man front, why sacks matter more than ever, and whether this new-look defense can carry the Cyclones through an unpredictable season. Key players like Isaac Terrell, Kaden Crawford, and Blake Hawkins headline a deep, physical defensive line, while Montrez Smith and a promising cornerback group add to the hype. The episode explores the challenges of overcoming key losses, the importance of establishing a fierce identity in Rogers’ first year, and how Iowa State’s D could ease the pressure on the offense. Will Cyclone opponents find the end zone at all in 2026, or is a defensive juggernaut about to emerge in Ames?
