Then after the Cyclones toppled Kansas, Campbell was there with the fans again celebrating.

From afar for some time, Campbell said he had become enamored with the passion he saw out of Ames. So when the opportunity arrived for Campbell to become Iowa State’s new head football coach, he jumped on it.
