Planning for success: Iowa State hopes Joel Lanning sparks the offense

It was time to shake things up at Iowa State.

The Cyclones made multiple changes on Monday, replacing offensive coordinator Mark Mangino with quarterbacks coach Todd Sturdy and elevating Joel Lanning to the No. 1 spot on the quarterback depth chart to replace Sam B. Richardson. Iowa State is 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12.

As Iowa State plans for success against Texas this weekend, Paul Rhoads' team is counting on Lanning to provide a spark.

“We believe that he gives us the best opportunity to win against Texas,” Rhoads said.
