Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads, on Allen Lazard's performance in the team's opener: 'You just don't see many 6-5, 225-pound punt returners. But he did a fantastic job.'

Allen Lazard turned heads when he decided he was going to stay local and play for Iowa State. The huge wideout from Urbandale, Iowa, was ranked by some among the nation's top 50 recruits. Lazard did have a connection to ISU. His dad, Kevin, was a standout DB for the Cyclones and team co-captain in the early '90s.
