HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“This is not something we typically do, but it’s a great opportunity for everyone to suit up and compete. Each boat will have targets that we want them to hit whether they are at home or on the road. Last year we had a lot of success as a team at the Iowa Chase, and we are still looking to continue that into this year. Princeton will be a great benchmark to see how fall training has impacted our performance and will drive how we set up winter training. It is always a great day when we can represent the black and gold.”

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.

Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods says senior Kaden Wetjen has become the nation’s top return specialist because of his toughness. The native of Williamsburg leads the nation in return yards and has returned two punts for a touchdown and returned a kickoff for a score.

Woods says experience has helped Wetjen’s decision making.

Woods describes Wetjen as being obsessed with getting better.

The Hawkeyes are in the midst of a bye week. They return to action on November eighth by hosting sixth ranked Oregon.

Iowa State kicker Kyle Konrardy says he was excited to return to the lineup in last week’s loss to BYU. The native of Dubuque had missed three games after aggravating a hip injury in a September 13th victory at Arkansas State.

Konrardy has dealt with the injury since before the season started.

Konrardy says the chore now is to prevent a flare up.

Konrardy says the violent and repetitive nature of place kicking can lead to frustrating injuries.

The Riverside Cross Country team is set for the state meet this weekend after winning the ACGC State Qualifying meet. The Bulldogs won an astonishing eight meets throughout the season. Head Coach Alex Oliver says despite the close finishes between his top three runners, they all have their own strategies.

The Bulldogs had three finishers in the top six at ACGC. Senior Dawson Henderson and Junior Owen Fenner going back-to-back placing second and third, with Senior Brody Henderson finishing sixth. Oliver pointed out it’s a top to bottom effort to take home hardware at any given meet.

The course in Fort Dodge is flatter than most tracks the Bulldogs have ran on which alters the strategy slightly.

The Class 1A Boys’ race is scheduled for 2:45 P.M. on Saturday. We’ll have coverage throughout the day on KJAN from the state meet in Fort Dodge Friday and Saturday.

Iowa center Logan Jones has been named the Outland Trophy National Player of the Week. The Hawkeyes are 6-2 and on a bye week after a 41-3 win over Minnesota. Jones is in his fourth season as Iowa’s starting center.

That’s Hawkeye offensive coordinator Tim Lester. Jones is a key part of an Iowa run game that is averaging just under five yards a carry in Big Ten play.

The Outland Trophy is presented annually to the nation’s top interior offensive lineman. Iowa returns to action on November eighth by hosting sixth ranked Oregon.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell endured some tough times in rebuilding the Cyclone program and he is confident they will navigate their current slump. ISU is riding a three game losing streak heading into Saturday’s game at home against Arizona State.

Campbell says during tough times he relies on his coaches and the players.

Campbell says the leadership on the team will play a key role in helping the Cyclones regain their winning ways.

Iowa State’s hopes for a return trip to the Big 12 championship game have faded but Campbell says their only focus right now is playing their best during the final month of the season.

The Cyclones are averaging 465 yards during their three game skid but mistakes and turnovers have proved costly.
