Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads held his weekly press conference on Monday. Here are five things to take away from it as the Cyclones prepare to face No. 14 Oklahoma on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPNU).
1. ISU’s 24-0 win over Texas on Saturday coincided with ISU parting ways with offensive coordinator Mark Mangino and Joel Lanning becoming the starting quarterback. Did those changes play a role in the victory? Yes, Rhoads said, but it wasn’t the only reason.
“I don’t know if all the credit goes to what took place on Monday with the depth chart and the coaching staff,” Rhoads said.
