⚡ CFB Dashboard

- Iowa State started Trevor Bindel at right guard against SEMO but split his snaps with Austin Barrett; the preview says that competition may remain unresolved. The offensive line allowed pressure to reach Jaylen Raynor and generated only just over 100 rushing yards against the FCS opponent, leaving protection and run blocking as concerns entering Iowa. - Iowa State generated six sacks against SEMO, including three by Isaac Terrell. The preview describes Jesse Bobbit's new defense as more aggressive than Jon Heacock's prior scheme and notes Bobbit's Washington State unit produced 31 sacks last season. The opener established pressure production, but against FCS competition rather than Iowa's line. - Iowa State QB Jaylen Raynor completed 50% of his passes for about 180 yards with two passing and two rushing touchdowns in the opener. The preview flags downfield accuracy as a concern: last season he threw three touchdowns and six interceptions on attempts of at least 20 yards. That is historical context for the Iowa test, not a forecast of turnovers.

- Practice: Hopefully this comment from Tulsa’s head coach Tre Lamb bodes well for us in our upcoming match with the Pokes .

- QB/LB: On the game front, obviously they are a big favorite (and should be).

- Pick/market: Early takeway: I'm surprised by how much Iowa State is throwing it vertically downfield.

- QB/OL: QB: I don’t think Raynor was as bad as the completion percentage showed.
