--DAVID CARR--
*First 5x AA for ISU
*12th Cyclone to finish on the podium 4x
*17th Cyclone to win 2+ titles; last was Jake Varner (2009-10)
*ISU's 71st individual national championship

#D1WRNotes
Last 5 Cyclones to have 100+ rush yds in each of the season's first two games:
Troy Davis ('95, '96)
Darren Davis ('99)
Ennis Haywood ('00, '01)
Breece Hall ('20)
Jirehl Brock ('22)
Teams currently in the CFP Top 12 that played their entire season as scheduled (no postponements, no cancellations):
*Iowa State
*Indiana (pending Purdue game on 12/12)
Another day, another fun Troy Davis stat.
In 2018, David Montgomery had 80+ yds in a game 8 times.
In 1995, Troy Davis had 80+ yds in a *QUARTER* 8 times.
TV timeouts account for ~45 minutes of each game.
Proposed solution: Less actual football.
Better solution: 30/60 second split-screen ads on "natural" breaks (after PAT, after KO, on poss changes). Use the dead time that already exists instead of creating more.
ISU, BU, and OSU all 3-1. Round-robin all 1-1 against each other. All still have to play OU. BU and ISU both get UT (2-2) at home in the next 2 weeks.
Buckle up.
Most rush yds, NFL game, by former
@CycloneFB
:
177 - Breece Hall, today at DEN
146 - David Montgomery, 2020 at MIN
135 - Montgomery, 2019 vs LAC
127 - Hall, 2023 vs BUF
122 - Montgomery, 2022 at GB
There are 7 schools that appeared at least twice in each of the past 4 seasons:
Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Iowa State
Well actually, Iowa State spent 2 weeks in the CFP rankings in 2017, 5 weeks in 2018, 2 weeks in 2019 and 5 weeks in 2020. And high expectations this year. 5 years seems pretty sustained.
Additional research confirms:
4 TD passes by Dekkers are the most ever by a Cyclone in their first career start, and most ever by a Cyclone in a season opener.
West Virginia ran SIX plays on ISU's side of the 50 tonight. The last one was with 6:47 left in the FIRST QUARTER.
*2 on first poss
*4 on the INT->TD drive
