The injury to Jake Campos takes out Iowa State’s only experienced offensive lineman, but if history is any indication, the Cyclones might end up surviving the 2016 season.
With a couple plates and a handful of screws the 2016 season of starting junior tackle Jake Campos is likely over before it even begins. With Campos’ injury disappears 24 starts over two years and only one other offensive lineman — Nick Fett — has started a game in a Cyclone uniform.
As we wrote yesterday, there are schematic ways to combat the lack of experienced linemen and there is no doubt that head coach Matt Campbell and his staff are working on this very thing through the rest of fall camp.
