Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads held his weekly press conference on Monday. Here are five things to take away as the Cyclones get ready to host No. 3 TCU on Saturday (6 p.m. ESPN2).
1. Why did ISU give up 776 yards to Texas Tech last week? The Cyclones played with “fear” after initially seeing the quickness of the Red Raiders, according to Rhoads.
“We got a little intimidated early with the speed of it,” Rhoads said.
The Cyclones can’t afford a repeat with a TCU offense that runs a similar version of the Air Raid offense to Texas Tech.
