*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Baylor Gameday Thread ***

Did Landen Akers get hurt this week? He was never flashy, but he just ran north/south in Dicckerson-eque fashion, although not with huge speed, and got past the 25 much of the time on kickoffs. Can't argue with having Deshaunte Jones back there, but I think he is dancing around out there too much. On the kickoff return, the defenders close in 5 yards for each juke. It's just not the same as "running in space" out in the flat.

Nolan doesn't have a very quick release...or at least it seemed quicker last week.
 
Outside of the Big Ten, if a school wasn't regularly televised, wasn't a big bandwagon school, or wasn't consistently in the NCAA tournament, I most likely didn't know about it.
 
Complete homer here but I really can't recall the last RB that gets this much forward push after contact.
