Iowa State opens spring practice on Tuesday, the first Big 12 team to return to work since bowl season. Here are three questions to consider as the Cyclones progress toward their April 8 spring game.
1. What’s the expected role of former starting quarterback Joel Lanning? It will be significant, though the details are not entirely defined. Lanning has said he will not leave Iowa State as a graduate transfer after earning his degree this spring, opting instead to seek work within the Cyclones' scheme despite the emergence of Jacob Park as the starting quarterback.
