Football: What to takeaway from the Rhoads press conference

Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads met with the media on Monday in advance of the Cyclones hosting Kansas on Saturday (11 a.m., FSN). Here are five takeways from it.

1. This is a must win game. Rhoads said as much when asked about the importance of beating a Jayhawk squad that’s winless this season.

“You bet it’s a must win because it’s this week’s game,” Rhoads said.

2. What must ISU do to pick up that victory? Get more players playing like running back Mike Warren.

Warren rushed for 126 yards against Toledo on Sept.
