Matt Campbell to Iowa State
“He is going to be a good coach no matter what”.
“You can define Jameel’s game quickly but it is incredibly hard to stop because he is so long and athletic”, Williams said. “He’s got a bright future”. But through the first five games of the season, the transfer from Eastern Illinois had been Illinois’ most consistent perimeter defender, at one point starting five straight games primarily because of his efforts at that end of the floor.
Gibson’s slump-busting performance began in spectacular fashion, as he caught a 15-yard pass from Howard at the Iowa State 45, spun out of an opposing cornerback’s grasp and ran across the field, and through a slew of defenders, for a 60-yard touchdown that gave his team a 7-0 lead.
McKay had seven points during the surge and Georges Niang added six. I think we’ve got our feet back under us. Campbell also led UT to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in 2012 and to the GoDaddy Bowl last season.

Mike Warren, the nation’s top freshman rusher, led Iowa State with 74 yards, but he didn’t get a carry over the final five series. “Those would really ignite our fan base even more than they’ve already been ignited”.
Iowa State has not confirmed the reports of Campbell’s possible hiring, nor has a press conference been announced.
Zach Leday led the Hokies (3-2) with 19 points. He averaged 18.5 points in two games to earn a spot alongside teammate Malcolm Hill on the all-tournament team. It was better in the second half, going 17 of 30. “I think it’s no secret that we function much better I push the tempo”, Holgorsen said. “Those guys were everything we thought they’d be”.
Iowa State, with two field goals, was limited to 284 total yards and failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season. He lost three yards in the process, but a 50-yard strike sent the Cyclones sprinting into the locker room trailing 13-6. McKay and Niang had three apiece. They are deserving of all the preseason accolades.
Noble Nwachukwu was the unsung hero of the game, keeping constant pressure on the Iowa State quarterback throughout the game and disrupting everything the Cyclones tried to do. Defensively, Kansas State is allowing 31 points and 442 yards per game.
Because bowl games count in NCAA statistics, the rushing title won’t be decided for another month.
Toledo started 7-0 this season, including victories over Arkansas and Iowa State. The others are Fred Hoiberg, Greg McDermott, Wayne Morgan and Louis Menze….
