## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones assert their ground game dominance as questions about preseason uncertainty fade. Can Jimmy Rogers and Tyler Rohl’s offensive identity—relentless rushing powered by breakout star Aiden Flora and creative jumbo packages—carry the Cyclones through Big 12 play? Nick Marovets breaks down Iowa State’s 2-1 start, grading performances against SEMO, Iowa, and Bowling Green, and spotlighting defensive leaders like Isaac Terrell and Janikowski. Defensive depth shines, but lapses in the secondary and passing game accuracy raise new challenges. With conference play looming, standout linebackers Schlimgen, Willock, and Goodwin anchor a defense exceeding expectations. Is this Cyclones’ squad primed to outperform predictions and climb the Big 12 standings?
