Kolar-ful offense: Iowa State’s offense led by success of tight ends

After an Oklahoma State kickoff, Iowa State will typically roll out a heavy, three-tight end offensive package at its own 25-yard line.

No, Cyclones coach Matt Campbell didn’t forget where he was on the field or even which down it is, that’s simply how he runs his offense.

“It's different from what you would see from most of us that play offensive football today,” coach Mike Gundy said. “That's the concept that Matt gone with and it's a little different approach, but they do some really good things out of it, and it's a challenge for a defense to be able to contain those type of plays where you get a lot of inside-zone blocking with block back through the tight ends and you get some pull plays that you don't see with two tight ends today much less three tight ends.
