Have a great team coming back this year
ISU Football program is based on discipline, accountability and toughness. The team starts with the quarterback; you have to be able to score more points than the opponent so the person who delivers the ball is critical. We'll be using a two-quarterback system and look forward to how difficult this will be for opponents. Each of the quarterbacks bring different attributes to the game, which is critical. The running back team is strong. Receivers are consistent across the board. Tight ends are strong as a group; they all play hard and are tough. 4 of the 5 offensive line are power forwards. We're looking forward to this being the best offense we've had since 2014. Most of the defense are returning players. All the specialists are back again this year. It's definitely a fun team to be around.
This year's season opener will be against the University of Iowa on August 31st in Iowa City.
