Before we get started, I should preface this article by saying that you shouldn't be bummed about an off week at all. Bye weeks give teams a chance to rest and recover, and they're a big help to injured players. It also gives coaches and coordinators a chance to fix the catastrophic problems the team faced in the games prior. These are both good things for Iowa State.
The health of guys like Tyler Brown, Daniel Burton, Qujuan Floyd, Sam E. Richardson, Gabe Luna, and Mr. Easy Cheese Demond Tucker will surely benefit from a week off.
