I had no idea...
- Intel: When talking about all-time running backs, Montgomery often is dismissed, but this TD total refutes that.

- QB: The issue they have is that this is probably a situation where you can't go back.

- QB: Both Rogers and Roehl bringing up Raynor's ability to adjust and communicate at the line tells me that's a big part of what they need out of a successful QB.

Coach Quotes: Jimmy Rogers explains how the offense can be more explosive
- Jimmy Rogers said Iowa State's Evan Boyd is out for the season. Drew Surges missed Tuesday practice and needed reassessment; Beni Ngoyi was limited by his ankle. Other players with ankle issues were back practicing. The comments do not establish game-day clearance for Surges or Ngoyi.
- Iowa State's explosive-play misses included overthrows, drops and missed blocks. Rogers still backs Jaylen Raynor and said Iowa's fast-triggering linebackers discouraged moving the pocket in that game. He is considering simpler roles for speedy young receivers to create opportunities, not announcing a quarterback change or a completed offensive fix.
- Rogers defended Iowa State's frequent defensive-line rotation as a freshness and depth-development strategy. He attributed late problems against Iowa to missed tackles, calls he wanted back and the opponent's execution, rather than declaring a lack of depth. Defensive performance was ahead of the offense, but critical-moment execution still needed improvement.
- Omari Hayes should continue receiving Iowa State punt-return opportunities after tracking and catching the ball more cleanly. Aiden Flora had cramps and an ankle tweak, but Rogers said running was not limited in practice; the concern was gauging and bending for punts. This was a return-role adjustment, not confirmation that Flora could not play offense.

Field position
- Pick/market: After scoring on our first drive of the half, our starting field position until our ill fated “false start” drive was pretty bad, likely contributing to our poor offensive performance.

Very Proud!
- QB/OL: If the receivers, TEs, and either QB stays, we whip them.
