The Iowa State defense has done plenty this season on their respective side of the ball. More particularly, the second and third levels of the Cyclone defense have had plenty of work. The top two leading tacklers for the Cyclones, safety Qujan Floyd and corner Brian Peavy, together have tackled the ball carrier 159 times. That is 18 percent of the teams tackles. Oh and by the way, 47 different players have registered a tackle this season for the 'clones. Understandably so that is including special teams and offensive players on turnovers but they represent a small portion in these statistics.
