The biggest thing that jumps out at Gary Patterson when he watches Iowa State?
The big guys that jump.
“Looks like a basketball team,” the TCU coach said Monday during the Big 12 coaches conference call.
The Cyclones boast four receivers who go 6-foot-1 or better, including their top pass-catcher, 6-6 Hakeem Butler. Their leading touchdown receiver is 6-5 Allen Lazard, who has five.
Next is 6-1 Marchie Murdock with four touchdowns.
Then 6-4 Matthew Eaton with three.
The four 6-footers have combined for 15 touchdown catches.
