if yOu build it, they will cOme Paul Rhoads has built the Iowa
State football program into a consistent player on the
collegiate
football scene with three bowl bids in the last five years.

last three seasons. ISU broke its season attendance record in 2013
at 55,361. ISU sold out its first two home games (North Dakota
State, Kansas State), as the Cyclones have
five sellouts at home in their last eight games.

2012, 15; 2011, 17; 2010, 11; 2009, 16.
With seven sacks through three games, the Cyclones are on pace
to have their best sack total in years.
ISU has won the turnover battle in one game (Iowa, 2-1), forcing
its first turnovers of the season vs. Iowa.
DC Wally Burnhams units have forced at least 20+ turnovers in
his first five seasons.
OffeNse fiNdiNg Rhythm Like the Cyclone defense, the Cyclone

Mangino, the Cyclones have accumulated 253 yards (North Dakota
State), 319
yards (Kansas State) and 337 yards (Iowa) of total offense in
each game.
In the Iowa game, the Cyclones scored on their final two drives
(9-plays, 92 yards, TD; 11-plays, 51 yards, FG with 0:02) to post a
come-from-behind win on the road. The 92-play drive is the longest
of the season for the Cyclones.

He is also one of the best punt returners in the nation. His
season 29.3 average leads the nation. He notched his first career
punt return for a TD against Kansas State (Sept. 6), rambling 82
yards to paydirt. It was the ninth-longest punt return in school
history.
West has two punt returns of over 20 yards this season: 24 vs.
North Dakota State; 82 vs. Kansas State.
West had one of the greatest opening periods in ISU history vs.
Kansas State when he caught a 17-yard TD pass, returned a punt 82
yards for a TD and threw a 29-yard TD pass in the first half.
West was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, Hornung
Award Honor Roll and CFPA Punt Returner of the Week after his
performance vs. Kansas State.
He became just the third player in FBS or FCS to achieve the
feat since 1998. He also became just the fourth player in ISU
history to record a kickoff return and punt return for a
TD in school history: Dick Howard, Don Ferguson and Tom Vaughn.
Vaughn was the last Cyclone to do it in 1963.
Overall, West has been responsible for a TD in five different
combinations in his career: TD rush, TD catch, TD pass, TD punt
return, TD kickoff return, the only current player in the nation to
claim this.
West, who has been added to the Hornung Award Watch list, is
ISUs active leader in receptions (86).
He recorded a career-high eight catches vs. Kansas State. West
currently leads the team in catches (15) and is second in receiving
yards (137). His 15 catches
equals his total from last year.
AlleN lAzARd Off tO A gReAt stARt True freshman WR Allen Lazard
is having a fantastic start to his Cyclone career. Lazard is the
first true freshman offensive player to record a start since WR
Josh Lenz did it in 2009. Lazard was inserted into a starting role
after the untimely loss to ISUs top returning receiver
Quenton Bundrage, who tore his ACL in the season-opener vs.
North Dakota State.
Lazard has nine catches for a team-high 143 yards receiving. He
registered career-highs in catches (5) and receiving yards (53) vs.
Iowa. The two longest plays from scrimmage on the season are by
Lazard: 48-yard catch vs. North Dakota
State and a 29-yard TD catch vs. Kansas State, his first career
TD.

claimed the role of signal-caller of the Iowa State offense in fall
camp
and has been solid.

2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012
Richardson has 22 career TD passes, tying for 10th all-time in
school history, and has a career 58.0 percent completion clip, the
third-best total in school history.
He is completing a career-best 68.0 percent of his passes this
season (66-97) and leads the team in rushing with 119 yards. His
completion percentage is on pace to break the school mark and ranks
second among Big 12 QBs and 18th in the nation.
Richardson is averaging 22.0 completions per game, ranking
fourth in the Big 12 and 18th in the nationally.
After intermission, Richardson is completing 70 percent of his
passes (37-of-53). Against Iowa, Richardson was 25-of-36 for 255
yards and 2 TDs, including completing 17-of-21 passes
in the second half to help ISU overcome an 11-point halftime
deficit.
Richardson completed a career-best 14-straight passes vs. Kansas
State. Richardson also has the ability to keep plays alive with his
feet. He currently leads the Cyclones in
rushing with 119 yards.
fARNiOk is the seAsONed veteRAN Senior co-captain Tom Farniok is
the seasoned veteran of the Cyclones, registering a team-high
38
starts, which ranks fourth among active Big 12 players.
Farniok, a two-time HM All-Big 12 selection at center, is on
both the Rimington Award and the Weurffel Trophy watch lists.
Along with senior RT Jacob Gannon, Farniok is one of two
Cyclones on the team to start at least one game in the last four
seasons.
A native of Sioux Falls, S.D., Farniok calls the shots at the
line scrimmage and his leadership has been instrumental in the
success of the Cyclone offense.
Farniok was injured in the second quarter of the North Dakota
State game and did not play the rest of the game, as the the
Cyclone offense sputtered in the second half.
Farniok went 3-0 against intrastate rival in his four years as a
Cyclone. He was injured in ISUs loss to Iowa in 2013 and did not
play in the game.
Farniok spent the summer as an assistant strength and
conditioning coach working with the Iowa State mens basketball
team. He wants to be a strength and conditioning coach when his
football career is over.

including a season-high 11 stops vs. Kansas State.
Miller is ISUs active career leader in tackles (97).
2014 cAptAiNs The Iowa State players voted on their captains and

Aaron Wimberly (Running Back- Hornung Award/Doak Walker Award).
cyclONes iN the Nfl Iowa State currently has five players on
53-man NFL rosters. Players on NFL Rosters: Tim Dobbins (Atlanta
Falcons), Leonard Johnson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), A.J. Klein
(Carolina Panthers), Kelechi Osemele
(Baltimore Ravens) and Ahtyba Rubin (Cleveland Browns).
A number of players are on practice squads, including Jeremiah
George, who is the latest Cyclone to be drafted, getting selected
in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the New York Jets. George
led the Big 12 and ranked fourth nationally in tackles in 2013 at
11.1.
ISU has had an NFL draftee in each of the last three
seasons.
RemembeRiNg cuRtis bRAy Curtis Bray, who was on head coach Paul
Rhoads Iowa State staff the last five seasons, passed away suddenly
from a pulmonary embolism in January
at the age of 43.
Bray was ISUs defensive end coach from 2009-13, tutoring
multiple defensive ends to All-Big 12 recognition. Iowa State will
honor Brays legacy by adorning a patch on their helmets of his
initials CB throughout the entire season. ISU DE Cory Morrissey,
who earned All-Big 12 honors in 2013 under Brays leadership,
changed his uniform number to 58 in honor of Bray, who wore the
same number in his outstanding career at Pittsburgh.
dRAke feRch ANd beN bOeseN AwARded schOlARships Coach Rhoads
placed senior Drake Ferch (N/LB) and junior Ben Boesen (TE) on
scholarship at the end of fall camp. Both players came to ISU as
recruited walk-ons and have worked their way up into the two-deep.
Rhoads has placed 18 former walk-ons on scholarship in his
tenure.
deAliNg with iNJuRies Iowa State has already lost five
significant contributors to season-ending injuries this season.
Quenton Bundrage, ISUs leading receiver in 2013 (48 catches, 676
yards, 9 TDs), had his junior season ended on the fourth play of
the 2014 season
when he tore his ACL vs. North Dakota State in the
season-opener.
Ben Loth, ISUs backup center, went down with a knee injury on
the first day of fall camp. Special teams dynamo Levi Peters
ruptured his achilles vs. Kansas State. WR P.J. Harris, who had
nine catches in the first three games, had his season ended with a
knee injury vs. Iowa, along with backup offensive lineman
Jacob Dunning.
dAuNtiNg schedule Phil Steele ranks ISUs 2014 schedule as the
seventh-toughest in the nation. That follows pre-season schedule
ranks of sixth (2013), third (2012), sixth (2011)
and first (2010) for the Cyclones.
Iowa State will yet again play one of the nations toughest
schedules. The combined 2013 record of Iowa States 2014 opponents
is 96-57. Only three teams (Kansas, West Virginia, TCU) posted
records below .500 in 2013. Iowa States first eight opponents
(North Dakota State, 14-0; Kansas State, 8-5; Iowa, 8-5; Toledo,
7-5; Baylor, 11-2; Oklahoma State, 10-3; Texas, 8-5;
Oklahoma, 11-2) were a combined 77-27 in 2013.
Seven of the first eight teams on ISUs schedule played in the
postseason in 2013.
