4October is typically the month reserved for fright and terror, ghosts and ghouls, and tricks or treats. Over the past few seasons, Matt Campbell and the Iowa State Cyclones have loaded up on treats in October only to be left with nothing but tricks in November.
Prior to this past weekend’s game against Baylor, Matt Campbell-led teams had gone 6-6 since 2017 in the month of November. For a program that has been very competitive under CMC and Co., that record is a bit appalling when compared to the month prior, as the Cyclones are 9-2 in October with Brock Purdy at the helm.
