Roster turnover, a new coaching staff, and uncertainty at quarterback fuel the debate over the Cyclones’ true potential in the Big 12 title race. Nick Marovets breaks down why perceptions of a major step back at quarterback (from Rocco Becht to Jalen Rayner) and questions at running back and wide receiver may be misleading.
