Little things add up to big things and that has been an issue for Iowa State as the Cyclones prepare to host defending Big-12 champ Arizona State. ISU has fallen out of the title chase on the heels of three straight losses.

That’s junior tight end Gabe Burkle, who says while the losing skid has been frustrating there is not a loss of confidence.

The Cyclones are 5-3 and Burkle says there is still a lot to play for.

Burkle says the leadership on the team will help get them through this.
