• Ride the Cyclone

  Though they've always seemed to be scheduling fodder for big schools in their league such as Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Cyclones have had recent success in terms of bowl appearances. They played in a bowl game every season except one from 2000 to 2005, and are hoping that Gene Chizik can help restore the upward momentum the program felt in the early part of this decade. Some of the players from ISU past glory include David Archer, Matt Blair, Dennis Gibson, Keith Sims, Karl Nelson, Dan Johnson, Mike Stensrud, Troy Davis and Seneca Wallace.
