The Big 12 Football Media Days set the stage for a six week buildup before Oklahoma State lines up against MAC powerhouse, Central Michigan to kick off the 2015 season. Today, Iowa State's Head Football Coach, Paul Rhoads, sat and answered questions from those who bothered to ask them.
Here are the Cliff Notes version for those who don't care to read the entire transcript (sorry, I don't "TL:DR")
On team chemistry - it's good
On team experience - it's there
On team talent - we have chemistry and experience
On defensive line - they're deeper and more talented than you think
On team luck - it's bad
On running back - they've been good at getting tackled, we're trying not to do that anymore
On fans - they are a loyal group with low expectations
On starting quarterback - it's Sam then Grant and Joel is in there somewhere
On recruiting - it's challenging, but hey, at least we can wear sweatshirts to our games
On growing the program - we're working on it
On Mitchel Myers - screw you, cancer
