Iowa State's ground attack has been anemic at best in its first two games, and before it faces Toledo this weekend, it needs to get moving.

The Cyclones gained just 66 total rushing yards against the Hawkeyes on Saturday.

Sam B. Richardson has seemingly been in Ames forever, and he's been pretty good this season. Still, this offense is laboring, and it has a lot more to do with the running game than the aerial attack.

“I continue to talk about our running game because it's not going away,” said Paul Rhoads Monday.
