Iowa State center Jim Bonifas says tough times has brought the Cyclones closer together. After opening the season 5-0 the Cyclones take a four game losing streak to TCU on Saturday.

Bonifas says the culture the program has developed is even more important when things get tough. Defensive lineman Ike Ezeogu says it is up to each player to help get things turned around.

Ezeogu says there is no quit on this team.

While a return trip to the Big 12 championship game is no longer a possibility, Ezeogu says there is still a lot to play for.
