BREAKING: ESPN Caught RIGGING College Football Playoffs for SEC, Can Big 12 Overcome in 2025?

The 2024 Iowa State Cyclones football season was a historic one, filled with program firsts and exciting victories. Coach Matt Campbell led the team to an 11-3 record, their best ever, including a thrilling Pop-Tarts Bowl win against Miami.  The Cyclones achieved their first ever 10-win regular season, propelled by a strong offense that averaged over 30 points per game. They also made their first appearance in the Big 12 Championship game since 2020. While they fell short against Arizona State, the season was a testament to the program's growth under Campbell.  Looking ahead to next year, expectations will be high. Quarterback Rocco Becht returns, providing stability on offense. However, the Cyclones will need to replace key players on both sides of the ball. The schedule features tough Big 12 matchups, and repeating this year's success will be a challenge.  Despite the challenges, the foundation is in place for Iowa State to remain competitive. Campbell has built a consistent winner in Ames, and with continued development and strong recruiting, the Cyclones should be a factor in the Big 12 race once again.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
