With the new redshirt rules, do you scatter out the playing time, or wait until later in the season when we have injuries. We don't want to have to burn a redshirt because playing a game against a non-conference foe.

We lost probably our two highest profile assistant coaches on offense in Manning and Ayeni, plus we have a new quarterback coach. There also seems to be no designated offensive coordinator. Yet there seems to be little concern about our offense. At the very least just the new dynamic amongst the staff on game day would seem to be a potential problem. Do you think we should expect some stumbling blocks?

The new kickoff rule allows for a fair catch inside the 25 with the ball then spotted at the 25. Do you expect most teams to call for the fair catch a lot? Will the kicking teams try to take advantage by kicking the ball to an "up" man at the 20? How will the Cyclones address both of these questions?

Based on preseason expectations, which ISU position group overachieves and which underachieves in 2018?

For consistency/simplicity, use (a) QB, RB, receivers and OL for offense; (b) DL, LB and secondary for defense; (c) special teams.

What do you expect the offense to do in place of the Lan-ram package that worked so well in picking up short gains for first downs? Getting those first downs was critical to the teams success last year. Are the going to do more direct snaps to DM, or try and use Re-al as an option QB in these situations?

In regards to the upcoming season, which player has the best chance to go from being a relative unknown to becoming a fan favorite by the end of the season?
