Clone Chronicles :: An SB Nation blog for Iowa State Cyclones fans

  Hi guys this is James here.Derick catlett showed flashes last year. Brought in as a pass-catching tight end, it's arguable that he made his hay last year as a blocker out of the backfield. He's pretty good at catching the ball, but it's safe to say that  is the better receiving threat. Franklin gives ISU the ability to try out the occasional two tight-end set, and he will be a guy to follow this year. It's a little disappointing thus far that he hasn't really showed up in practice reports, but tight ends coach Scott Fountain has gone so far to say that if he was as experienced as Catlett is, he'd be the better player.

... of non-B.C.S. programs as the Frogs posted four seasons of double-digit wins in a five-year span between 2002 and 2006. Nevertheless, it wound up being the Utes, the Broncos, and the Warriors who crashed the gates of the Bowl Championship Series while Gary Patterson’s squad settled for Lone Star State bowl berths with short histories and little prestige. Still, Texas Christian often has given as good as it’s gotten against the big boys of the Big 12, claiming wins over Oklahoma and Iowa State in 2005, ...

Kansas (16) 35 Iowa State 33 SBN Blogs: Rock Chalk Talk : Clone Chronicles What an awful 1st half for Kansas and I know that the Jayhawks are trying to make me look like an idiot. Kansas' first 7 drives of the 1st half: punt, punt, punt, fumble, interception, punt, and end of half. I take back everything I said about the Jayhawks only have two losses heading into Missouri. The offense isn't the same as it was last year and neither is the defense. Good for ISU for ...

... Red Raiders defense simply could not get the Cornhuskers off the field. Nebraska ran 80 plays to Tech's 48, possessing the football for an astounding 40:12 to TTU's 19:48. And so it was that a regulation period featuring 3 punts and 0 turnovers wound up a box score oddity, with Nebraska scoring on each of its final three drives to get the game to overtime, which Tech sealed on an interception.

Next up for Texas Tech is a road tilt against Kansas, and if Harrell and Co. can avoid ceding turnovers to the opportunistic Jayhawks (their +21 TO margin last year was tops in the nation), they might just find themselves hosting the Longhorns next Saturday night with the inside track to the BCS Title Game on the line.
