This hybrid offense as you call it will get more run dominant as the line and hbacks/tight ends develop. Again, the reason CMC was hired is partially based on the fact this offense can grind out yards and time to keep those throw happy big 12 offenses off the field. Mix in good special teams and an improved defense and you have a solid chance for a win in every game. Welcome to "Campbell Ball".

That's why it's so pleasing to see the team get 8 (9) wins ahead of schedule. There are some big linemen in the pipeline already that will get that push that we need. Time of possession in the bowl game certainly showed what you can do with that and a great defensive effort.
Yep. It's a solid plan, especially if you can't recruit on same level with some opponents.
We were a force to be reckoned with this year. Only time I can remember having this tough of schedule and not getting blown out over the course of the season
I totally agree with on the front 6. Good thing is that it only took barely a year to get that done. Amazing job by this staff to integrate new and old players and elevate their play exponentially.
A bigger one is retaining him with this new contract
A decent QB could take us a long way, the defense is legit. I think Zeb maybe a star in the Making, he has the potential to be special. He has the Arm, just needs experience with the reads. Also if the line gets better next year, we have two RBs, who could break some records.
Wasn't intended to be a critique of the team at all...I loved that team and the turnaround they had in Rhoads' first year.
I should have left "team" out of it, honestly. It's a different feel (in my opinion) from this staff and any of their predecessors about what the possibility of this program can ultimately be.
Don't know what to say, but thank you. I've been a cyclone fan for 30 years and have never felt like this about the football program, it's cool.
It was much easier selling Campbell on taking the ISU job with Lou Ayeni already on Rhoads staff. Campbell had someone that he trusted telling him how special the job could be.
I can't remember another season where we were in every game until the end. There is usually at least one or two beat downs in there... that is a huge step. If that continues, and I don't see why it wouldn't, we are looking good going forward.
2005 is the only other season I can remember where we were in every game. That team should've been 10-2 but McCarney's patented late game mismanagement struck often.
I always forget that Ayeni was on Rhoads staff. I would love to get a couple drinks in him and find out his thoughts between the 2 staffs. Not necessarily to bag on CPR, but how he sees things from the inside.
Addidas have 3 stripes..I guess the brown stripe in the back could count.
