WILLIAMS: Scouting Mississippi

USA Today / Imagn PhotoHere’s my quick scout on Ole Miss: Strengths: — Athleticism. Teams like this generally give Iowa State’s offense problems and I don’t anticipate this to be any different. The Chris Beard switch defense is a concern, but Iowa State’s coaching staff has seen his teams a ton and should be prepared for it. — Ole Miss is one of the best teams in the country at taking care of the basketball, ranked 2nd nationally in turnover percentage.

Absolutely brutal.

Bears Trade Outlook Must Include Positions Hit by Injuries

Nov 4, 2024 | si.com | Byron Cowart |Chris Williams |Gene Chamberlain

The offensive line for the Bears could have a very different look Sunday against New England. In fact, it could be so different there is no way to really project it at this time, and it's even possible it would be an area they would seek to bolster via trade. It all depends on health of their players who were injured in the last two weeks.

Expect this wrinkle on Iowa State’s defense in 2024

Jul 9, 2024 | cyclonefanatic.com | Chris Williams

LAS VEGAS — Expect to see at least some small changes from Iowa State’s traditionally stout defense in 2024. That’s the hint that Matt Campbell gave at the Big 12’s media day on Tuesday in Las Vegas. “I think you will probably see us play a little bit more four-down this year just because we have so much depth,” Campbell told a pool of local reporters. “When you look at this team, it was almost stunning to go back and watch last fall and then see us this spring.
WILLIAMS: Yormark brings his fastball to Vegas, and the evolution of a 16-team Big 12 Conference

Jul 9, 2024 | cyclonefanatic.com | Chris Williams

LAS VEGAS — Over the last 15 years, I became obsessed with conference realignment and more broadly, the future of college athletics. This wasn’t my plan. When I got into this business I was excited to bring readers the most in-depth coverage of Iowa State athletics in the world. I wanted fans to know everything about the Cyclones – from the third string middle linebacker’s story to who the point guard would be three years from now. All Cyclones. All the time. That’s what we do at Cyclone Fanatic.
