It was nice to push The Team From Out East to their limit for a change. The talent gap has closed, and the knowledge of what the plan is has clearly improved from 12 games ago.
But the Cyclones still found a way to lose a game they should have won.
Horseshoes and hand grenades is ISU's strength under Campbell. At some point they have to push through.
But it's more fun to be standing at the corner than looking for a corner ahead.

Measuring Sticks
The benefit of starting the season with the same opponents as last year is that it's easy to measure progress.
The solid win over UNI was a vast departure from 2016. Improvement.
CSJ staff still isn't convinced that the ISU defense can stop a quality running game, and they will see a quality running game this week.
CSJ also isn't convinced the offense can score against a quality defense, and they will see a quality defense this week.
CSJ thinks the Cyclones lose by 14. So it goes. You get what you pay for.
