Offense- Cartevious Norton had a ‘soft launch’ breakout game against West Virginia. I’m not willing to call it a full-blown breakout game quite yet. Norton had a very nice 69 yards on 18 attempts, with two touchdowns. Iowa State rolled against West Virginia and the running game was a big part of that. Norton has battled through some injuries this season but is poised for a big finish.
If Norton can get north of 100 yards rushing this Saturday, I think our chances of winning raise exponentially.
Defense- BIG CITRUS.
