WATCH: Can Iowa State navigate the non-conference and Big 12 schedule?
Iowa State's offseason last summer was not ideal. A gambling scandal sprung a surprise on the roster and cost the Cyclones a number of important players. They managed to avoid danger against the FCS's Northern Iowa, which has beaten Matt Campbell's team and scared it two other times, but they couldn't avoid the somewhat frequent non-conference landmine. Iowa State plays Iowa every year -- the COVID season was an exception -- and is 1-6 against the rival under Campbell. That includes a loss last season, but last season also included a loss to Ohio to go alongside 2020's head-scratcher against Louisiana-Lafayette.
