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 Kansas State on Saturday (11 a.m., FS1).
1. Six wins aren’t mathematically possible and the Cyclones are out of bowl contention. So what does the team have to play for? A small piece of history, Rhoads said.
If ISU wins out it could post a four-win Big 12 season for the first time since 2005. There is also the possibility of the Cyclones finishing fifth in the Big 12.
