Apples to oranges.
Would Matt Campbell have been able to field a team that could beat Tom Osborne and Barry Switzer back when there were no scholarship limits and the only schools "allowed" to pay players were the Nebraska's and Oklahoma's?
With his recent statements on how hard it is to win at ISU, and that winning the conference isn't the goal.......I have my doubts. You would never hear either of coaches say that. They had the LE attitude of "why not here".
I think early in his tenure at ISU Matt had a little of that himself. Something has changed. Hopefully he can get that mojo back because trying to be Kirk Ferentz isn't a good look.
Johnny Majors never ever beat Nebraska while at Iowa State. Majors and Bruce never ever beat Oklahoma.
