IIRC the dlines have been their most effective when they've stayed in their lanes etc. They started getting away from that last year toward the end including the bowl game and the result was extra yardage for the opponent.

I'm keeping myself from getting too high, but having an experienced defense is a great thing. Even if the offense takes a couple games to find itself, having a top notch D to keep the scoring down, is an invaluable way to start the season.
I was ready to be critical of this hype column. But I agree with a hope of 8/9 wins, possibly 10. And we should all be f***ing pumped for that. I mean, there was a span of a decade or so where we barely won 10 games total.
Absolutely! It is amazing the change in culture CMC has instilled in the program in 3.5 short years. The team is just plan a lot better. Better players, better depth, better citizens, and better coaching. Any long time ISU fan would have a hard time trying to find something realistic to whine about. (those there are some who will...Uniforms?)
Um, you misspelled Brocktober.
Has there been a bunch of hype for this season that I've missed out on? Honestly haven't seen much so it seems like an odd article title.
Yes, you have missed out on it. But it will only be getting louder as the season approaches.
Most of the preseason magazines as well as ESPN and CBS have ISU in their preseason top 25s. There's a good chance ISU will be in the preseason AP Top 25, which I'm not sure has ever happened. Definitely hasn't in my lifetime.
A potential Top 25 matchup against Iowa could break the state.
It's scary to have expectations, but it gets a little easier knowing that the staff appears to have complete buy-in from the players and our QB is a talented leader.
All told, I am super nervous for this season. I just want them to start playing games so I don't have to worry about them anymore.
I thought the same thing when Lazard left.
Ending the season on Drake and a very weird game with Washington State makes me hesitant to drink the Kool Aid
What do we use for Kempt?
He had his limits but his back shoulder throws were great.
That was a fun day. And the start of something.

Hakeem was open for an easy touchdown, FYI.

All in all, he went to the perfect player. No one deserved to catch the game winner, for the biggest upset in school history, more than Allen Lazard
If they continue winning this era will compare to the Earl Bruce years I'm not confident in a victory against Oklahoma or Texas unless the November weather gets to the Longhorns. I'd be pretty surprised with a Iowa loss however
