Coach Campbell proved he could lead Toledo to victory against a more talented opponent. Can he do the same consistently at Iowa State?
Our Cyclones are now engaged in fall camp in preparation for what we all hope is a season of achievement beyond the expectations of pundits, fans, rivals, and pre-season rankings. Cyclone fans are especially enthusiastic as a new era dawns under the capable leadership of Matt Campbell. It’s our hope that Coach Campbell is able to fortify the 'Clones and outpace expectations, just as he did in Toledo.
As I prepare for the season, I wanted to analyze a Matt Campbell-led team in a familiar circumstance, namely, a large underdog against a superior opponent where his team had success.
