In full disclosure, I thought of composing this piece after Iowa State’s 17-7 loss to the Texas Longhorns. It was hard to see evidence of progress after the Cyclone offense mustered up a mere seven points on national television. Matt Campbell made some fans a little uneasy just two days later.
Campbell on his players after loss to Texas: "You came in our locker room and there was not one guy upset." Says guys recognized the growth that is being made.

It made the Cyclone Twitter echo chamber go crazy questioning how much this team cared.
