How long has Iowa State had TCU’s attention?
Since the league-stunning win at Oklahoma?
The worse-than-it-looked rout at Texas Tech?
How about since Sunday, when the latest AP Top 25 poll came out and put the Cyclones at No. 25?
Nope.
Longer.
“I said before the season Iowa State was going to be a tough ballgame,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “And that was not even knowing what I know now. Even if they weren’t a 5-2 team, it would be a tough game.”
If Patterson has been saying it, the players have been hearing it.
