## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones face a season-defining schedule as Nick Marovets identifies three pivotal football games—against Iowa, Utah, and Arizona—that could reshape the program’s trajectory under new head coach Jimmy Rodgers. Can the Cyclones build early-season momentum and silence national skeptics, especially with a front-loaded Big 12 schedule and high-stakes rivalry at Kinnick? Switching to hoops, the show delivers an urgent update: Iowa State basketball takes a hit as guard Killian Torrey is ruled out until at least conference play. How will the Cyclones’ guard rotation adapt without Torrey and Christian Wiggins? Nick Marovets weighs the depth challenge, examines Jaquan Johnson’s potential impact, and raises key questions about team chemistry and tournament hopes. Stay tuned for insights on Iowa State’s evolving football and basketball outlook.
