About this episode
Nick Marovets discusses how Texas Tech's actions have shifted the focus away from Iowa State, exploring the implications for the Cyclones' upcoming season.
Texas Tech embrace the villain role, shifting Big 12 football's spotlight away from Iowa State—will the Cyclones thrive under the radar this season? Nick Marovets examines how Texas Tech’s controversial 21-minute leadership video dominated headlines, making them the league’s primary storyline and easing media pressure on Iowa State and new head coach Jimmy Rogers. The discussion spotlights key members of Iowa State’s revamped staff, from Jesse Bobbitt’s energetic defense to Tyler Roll’s aggressive offensive mindset, and debates the impact of special teams weapon Kyle Konrardy being named only second-team All-Big 12 by Phil Steele. Could Iowa State’s quieter profile be the key to their resurgence? Get expert analysis on the Cyclones’ coaching changes, roster transformation, and underappreciated stars as they prepare to surprise the Big 12.
