2015 was a rough season for Iowa State and things did not start out well for Paul Rhoads that year.
Iowa State entered the game at Toledo as 6.5 point underdogs. Rhoads didn’t think his Cyclones were underdogs at all. Toledo had other thoughts.
In a game which Iowa State outgained Toledo by over 150 yards. The Cyclones’ miscues and 14 penalties for 114 yards held us in check as Toledo dropped the hammer. Iowa State’s defense forced a three and out late in the game and got the ball back in the hands of the offense.
