After dropping the opener to Louisiana, I, like many others, wondered what the season was going to look like, and if our Cyclones would have any shot of living up to the expectations we had set for them before the season. I think we all knew that this season could have some weird moments given the crazy offseason, but that one felt different.
Fortunately, Iowa State is now back in control of its destiny after picking up easily the two most impressive wins of the conference season to date over a couple teams which nobody will want to play against later this season.
