I've been told by more than one person in the know that Rony Nelson does not look good in the weight room or on the field :/. Hope he improves because we need him!

2005 was one of the best defenses in ISU history. 2011 will be a very, very strong year though. The back 7 are the best since 2005. The front 4 don't have the firepower of the 2005 defense, but they are still very solid.

Agree totally. What a great D-line, including one of my all-time favorite Cyclones, Big Play Curvey (whose personality matches his talent).
We all remember when #8 Iowa came to town that year and failed to get inside the 25-yard line, the entire game.
Its too bad the offense didn't pull their weight that year. That was the year that "could have been". Sigh.....

Then how the heck was he chosen as the Scout team defensive player of the year by the coaches? Certainly, they wouldn't have chosen someone who "does not look good" on the field.

The offense was fine that year. The problems were the choke jobs that the defense (as good as it was) and the special teams laid down that year. A lot of the choking was on the wonderful John Skladany prevent.

-Baylor game. It's 3rd and 15. Late in the 4th. If we get the ball back, we'll have a chance to get the win. Shawn ******* Bell drops back to pass, and then scrambles for 16 yards. He was probably the slowest skill position player in Big 12 history.

-Nebraska. Game winning pick hits Leaders in the hands. We drop it. 2 plays, Hambone Ross goes untouched for the win.

-Mizzou. We surrender a game tying 80 yard drive with about 1:30 left to freshman Chase Daniel.

-KU. I can't even remember that **** bag QB they had (Bartram?) that just shredded us in the exact same fashion as Daniel did.

I remember listening to that Missouri game on the radio. Brad Smith got hurt and I thought ''Okay. Freshman is coming in, this should be game over.'' Nope, a freshman fresh off the bench who hadn't played hardly at all, all season drives the team 80 yards for the win. Typical day in cyclone land.
