Iowa State will be good because on offense they bring back an experienced Rocco Becht, return most of the OL, and their top 2 RB’s. They brought in two good transfer WR’s in Chase Sowell and Xavier Townsend to replace Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. On defense they bring back big Dom Orange and there is no way they can be as depleted at LB as they were last year.
Iowa State won’t be good because the transfer WR’s will not be able to replace 2 NFL WR’s. The OL doesn’t take a step forward and also do not have an NFL LT this year. Rocco doesn’t clean up his pick 6 issues. While we think the defense took a step back last year because of all the injuries, a lot of it may be teams have figured out the Heacock scheme. The schedule also will be more difficult this year.
