ESPN’s Tim Griffen, a staff writer and Big 12 enthusiast recently released an interesting set of predictions for the Iowa State Cyclones. The first was that although ISU recently hired a new head coach, Paul Rhodes, the change in leadership will not be enough to pull the Iowa State Cyclones out of the bottom of the rankings. Mr. Griffen feels that within the Big 12 Conference there will be little room for anything less of perfection and that there will have to be some big changes if the Cyclones want to see a postseason bowl game.
Among his other predictions, although Jerome Tiller was given lots of praise at the camps and preseason practices, returning quarterback Austen Arnaud will continue to be the starting quarterback on the Iowa State Cyclones roster. Mr. Griffen did predict that Tiller will see some playing time giving Arnaud the break he did not see last season. Griffen also predicted that the fate of the Cyclones season will rest in their first conference game, which is against the Kansas State Wildcats on October 3rd. Griffen feels that if the Cyclones can pull out a victory in Arrowhead Stadium, they may be able to keep themselves off of the bottom of the Big 12 conference polls.
Like all other pre-season predictions, no one can really say what will come for the Iowa State Cyclones this season. It is clear that their ISU football schedule is a rough one and they are going to have to come out swinging early on if they want to see postseason play. Check back for more updates about the Cyclones and their new head coach Paul Rhodes.
