Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads thinks the big picture of the Iowa State football program is looking good after a scrimmage that followed the Cyclones’ spring practice Saturday in Jack Trice Stadium. On a brisk but pleasantly sunny day, the Cyclones scrimmaged, facing a variety of situations.
“You can see we are a tougher football team,” Rhoads said. “We are more physical. There was a lot of good contact on both sides of the ball. The bottom line is that we are more athletic overall.”
And there's good reason to have that hope! We have a young class of QBs and RBs waiting in the wings, the offense returns 8 starters and the defense returns 5 starts plus 5 that saw significant action in 2009.

“I thought our young guys showed some potential,” Rhoads said after the scrimmage. “We still had a couple of guys put the ball on the ground today and that is unacceptable. Ultimately, we have demonstrated that we are doing a lot things better so far this spring.”
The spring game is April 17 at 2 p.m. mark your calendars!
