We now have data to confirm how large of a missed opportunity this Cyclone Football season has been, courtesy The Athletic:
From 2017-2021, teams with Top 10 in stop-rate (percentage of defensive drives that end in punts, turnovers or turnovers on downs) win at a .793 rate. Of those 50 teams, 31 won 10 or more games, 23 played for conference titles.
Of those 50 teams, only one finished with a losing record, and in came in the COVID dominated season of 2020 when Air Force finished 3-3.
ISU is 4-7.
Stunning. Doing unlikely things in unlikely ways. Playing literally "Exceptional Football".
