The Beat Reporters: Changing Iowa State’s Expectations? Jimmy Rogers, Tamin Lipsey & More

Iowa State’s defense has exceeded expectations through two games, and The Beat Reporters break down what the Cyclones could become under Jimmy Rogers. Jake Brend, Rob Gray, and Jackson Pence discuss Iowa State’s impressive defensive performance against Iowa, why the Cyclones should be viewed as a legitimate bowl contender, and how much the offense can improve as the season progresses. The guys dive into Jalen Raynor’s development, the offensive line, explosive plays, Aiden Flora, the emergence of new receivers, and what Iowa State still needs to unlock before Big 12 play. Plus, the guys break down the possibility of Tamin Lipsey returning for Iowa State basketball, what his potential fifth year could mean for the Cyclones, the ongoing lawsuit over eligibility, and how Lipsey would fit alongside Iowa State’s current roster.
