DANCE-PAINTING ROBOT SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Des Moines artist Amenda Tate explains the concept of her artistic robot, Manibus, to young onlookers at her open gallery in the Memorial Union on Thursday.

BY ALEXANDER.GRAY @iowastatedaily.com Humans have created art since the dawn of our existence. Archaeologists have found artifacts dating back thousands of years before the modern homo sapien ever walked the earth. Has artist Amenda Tate handed art over to the robots with the Manibus? Not really.

Tate, Des Moines, Iowa, native, attended Iowa State where she started studying mechanical engineering. After completing half of the program, she decided to pursue her career in art. Tate graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with emphasis on

metalsmithing and jewelry design.

Tate bridges the gap between art in motion and static art with the Manibus robot. The artist’s invention uses a cell phone in an exercise armband to capture a dancer’s movement which is sent over Bluetooth connection to the Manibus. From there, the dancer’s routine is converted into brush strokes on paper.

The Manibus was inspired by a “transformative” experience Tate had while attending a ballet.

“It was just one of those moments where all of a sudden I got it,” she said. “It is about not just the people, and the bodies, and the positions, but it’s about the energy of what they’re doing and how

Report: Iowa State to play in Battle 4 Atlantis in 2019

BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com According to a tweet from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, the Iowa State men’s basketball team will play in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in 2019.

Th e 2019 Battle 4 Atlantis, which takes

place in the Bahamas each November, will feature some of the best teams in the nation.

This year’s edition includes Virginia, which held the No. 1 overall seed in last year’s NCAA Tournament.

From the report, Iowa State’s tournament opponents could include prestigious teams as well.

North Carolina won the 2016-17 national title and has won three total national championships since 2004-05.

The last meeting between Iowa State and the Tar Heels was in the 2014 NCAA Tournament when Iowa State defeated North Carolina in the second round.

Of the other teams reportedly involved in

the 2019 Battle 4 Atlantis, Oregon, Gonzaga and Michigan have all made the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament within the last two seasons.

As of Thursday afternoon, an Iowa State spokesperson was unable to comment on the report.

FINISHING FIRST Part 2

BY ADOLFO.ESPITIA @iowastatedaily.com Hope is not lost. Contrary to the adversity faced, first-generation students aren’t doomed to drop out.

Jessica Stevens, a fall 2017 graduate of Iowa State, received her bachelor’s in psychology with a minor in exercise science. Stevens proudly says she is the first in her family to graduate with a degree, but not without her share of hardships.

Stevens recalls the hardships she faced during her undergraduate career.

After transferring from a community college in a spring semester, the initial adjustment to a university campus was difficult. When she turned to her support group, there were feelings of being disconnected. Stevens says it took a while for them to fully understand the workload.

She plans to attend St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa for a PhD in occupational therapy. At one point in her undergraduate career, Stevens almost gave up on attending graduate school, not thinking she stood out enough and feeling “too average” to get accepted.

Stevens doesn’t see the label as a crutch. But, even after attaining an undergraduate or graduate degree, the question, ‘can I still do this?’ plagues the minds of first-generation students.

For students who go on to pursue graduate degrees, the pattern repeats and freshly imprints upon their minds.

For those who start careers, leaving their community continues to evoke an emotional response.

According to Kenyatta Shamburger, when first-generation students graduate and “make it,” they still jump the next hurdle that was like their undergraduate experience. A successful career is in the mind of every college

graduate, but for first-generation students, feelings of guilt hinder that dream. “‘Can I do this?’ Continues to surface even years after they graduate,’” Shamburger said. “There are times with academic accomplishments, that parents who did not attend college, might not understand the prestige or honor to match the excitement.”

Like Stevens, first-generation students have many things of which to be proud of. Both Katie Seifert and Shamburger compliment the resilience and fortitude shown by this population. Entering a seemingly new reality forces a new kind of responsibility.

They are hard workers, going against odds to prove that they are a force with which to be reckoned.

“A lot of scholars write about firstgen students in a negative tone,” Seifert says. “These students have lots of assets and strength that other students may not have. They are able to cross between cultures and use the challenges and trauma in their lives to propel themselves forward.”

First-generation students exist at every university. Attending school, improving their situation and finally being able to tell their family, “I did it.” But, the invisible struggles exist and are very real to these students.

Others may not understand what those struggles mean, but college can be one of the biggest hurdles of their lives.

These students try to defy statistics, conquering the mountain of higher education. Even with the pile of information that pit these students against the education system, they leave an important mark. They continue to shine as dreamers.

EDITORIAL

Media should not brush Jacksonville aside As most of you know, there was a tragic shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday. This shooting occurred at the outdoor mall during a gaming tournament.

It was very public and very traumatic for many families.

David Katz targeted Madden NFL video game players in the tournament at the downtown shopping complex, the Jacksonville Landing. According to Alexander Madunic, Katz had lost a game in the tournament earlier that day.

However, Katz legally purchased a 9mm handgun and a .45-caliber handgun in the last month.

Katz shot and killed two people, one was the winner of last year’s Madden Classic competition and the other was a former high school football player who won a lot of money playing a video game. After shooting the people in the arena, police say Katz killed himself with his own gun.

High school friends told CNN Katz was antisocial and kept to himself. Most of them only had a few conversations with

him during their time at Hammond High School in Columbia, Maryland.

However, the shooter’s family later disclosed that he struggled with mental illness.

His family went through many psychiatrists. His family called the police 26 times between 1993 and 2009. However, none of these calls had any physical violence.

The record shows Katz was prescribed with drugs from antidepressants to schizophrenia medicine.

A few days after the shooting occurred, EA donated $1 million to victims and their families.

As much coverage as there was, there seems to be a longer lasting coverage for other traumatic happenings, such as Mollie Tibbetts’ death. Many people at Iowa State don’t know many of the details that went on with the Jacksonville shooting, but everyone knows about Mollie Tibbetts.

Yes, T ibbetts is from Iowa and Jacksonville is in Florida. But both cases took human lives in awful ways. National media should have done more to make

the details of the Jacksonville shooting more prominent than just brushing them under the rug.

There are Iowa State students who are from all over the country. They deserve to know all the details of things that happen to their state.

The country will never forget the tragic moment in life: Sandy Hook, 9/11, Columbine, etc. The two lives lost in Jacksonville will not be forgotten, even if the media doesn’t give the event the attention it deserves.

Museum tours: Farm House

BY ALEX.RYBERG @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State is starting a new series of tours throughout the campus called “Art of Historic Renovation and Cultural Preservation.”

The series of tours started at the Farm House museum and will occur once a month at different buildings and museums on campus. The tour will cover Morrill Hall in September, Catt Hall in October, Curtiss Hall in November and Marston Hall in December.

The Farm House was built in 1858 and completed in 1861.

It saw many residents before it became the museum it is today.

Its previous residents included Seaman Knapp, the second president of Iowa State, James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture for 16 years, William B. Curtiss, whom Curtiss hall was named after and Floyd Andre, the dean of agriculture for many years at Iowa State.

In its beginning, the house itself was used for many different purposes. Early on it was used as the farm’s superintendent’s quarters.

Back in the day students were required to do four hours of work on the farm daily. However, that requirement was discontinued 20 years later.

When there were only a few buildings on campus, the Farm House was used as a post office, restaurant and hotel. During

The Farm House Museum was the first building built on Iowa State’s campus in 1858.

the Curtiss’ residence, students would work in the house as cooks and maids in exchange for room and board in the attic. The house has seen many changes with its many different residents, but it’s currently furnished look like it did like during the Curtiss’ stay.

The Farm House bears little resemblance to what it looked like when it was first built. The only hint of its original architecture is the flooring and the bricked up doorway in the main dining room.

Wilson lived in the Farm House when it was used as a duplex, and there were two entrances to his part of the house. He used brick from the foundation in the basement to cover that rear entrance to battle the Iowa winters.

Additionally, none of the furnishing throughout the house is from the original owners. During the transition to museum, the Ames community and

alumni stepped up and donated anything that would contribute to replicating what each room would have looked like during the Curtiss’ stay.

The Farm House was transformed into a museum in the 1960s and finished in the 1990s. The original grant asked for $30,000, a lot of money at the time.

In the beginning of the project, an expert was brought to the house to check if the foundations were secure enough for the project to continue.

He determined that it was not and the project was extended for another 30 years, raising the total cost to $300,000.

Despite the hike in cost, the project was able to be completed with support from the community and alumni.

TURNOVERS Campbell also can’t talk about these enough, either.

Turnovers have been the backbone of Iowa State’s focus since Campbell and his staff ’s arrival to Ames. When the Cyclones turned to Kyle Kempt — a quarterback who’d never taken a meaningful collegiate snap — in 2017, not only was his poise appealing, but also Kempt’s knack to protect the ball.

After the sometimes turnover-prone Jacob Park was relieved of the starting duties under center, Kempt made it a priority to protect the ball.

Park tossed five interceptions in five games played, while Kempt limited the turnovers to three in nine games played. Redshirt

eventual Manibus 2.0.

“It could cover more ground and still create the same response to the movement but just in a different scale,” Tate said.

She also mentioned she’d like to incorporate a recording function into the Manibus so she would be able to play back dancers’ movements, allowing her to add a new dimension to the paintings.

Tate doesn’t feel like the finished paintings can be attributed to any one artist. The final piece is part of a collaborative effort. This, she said, makes it appeal to a broader audience, even to those who might not otherwise be interested in the painted art form.

“When people say, ‘what is your medium?’: It’s not just the robot, it’s not just the painting, it’s not just the process,” Tate said. “I feel like all of that is my medium. I don’t feel like any one part of it independently tells the whole story.”

In 2017, Tate used the Manibus to work with Ballet Des Moines on their production of “Snow White,” where she spent time on the sidelines during rehearsals trying to “crack” what was happening. Her first time using the Manibus in the field, she found it challenging

sophomore Zeb Noland had one interception on 66 pass attempts last season.

“No. 1 was turnovers,” Campbell said at media day about the first stat he looked to after the season. “We start every fall camp meeting, we start our No. 1 meeting to start every season [with] that number [of turnovers].”

With Kempt regulating the interceptions for most the season, another Iowa State star anchored the Cyclones’ ball protecting rushing.

Junior running back David Montgomery is a versatile back who has a wide array of skills. He can pinball off Big 12 defenders, make opponents miss and catch passes out of the back field.

Regardless of how he gets the ball, Montgomery is dangerous with it in his hands. And rarely does it leave his hand, too.

The Cyclone offense nearly went unscathed in the fumble department last season. In the final game of Iowa State’s season, Montgomery

to integrate herself into rehearsals without being intrusive.

“I had just figured out that the robot would do something, and it kind of did something cool, but I didn’t really know how any of it was going to go,” Tate said. “We were all taking these steps of vulnerability to just go for it together.”

The experience, she said, “Blew any expectations I had totally out of the water.”

Since then Tate has worked with the Colorado Ballet, where she was granted with more creative control, and armed with more knowledge about how to properly utilize the Manibus. In the future she hopes to work with other dance forms, like the tango. She is currently looking for a hiplet company to work with, the mixture of hip hop and ballet dance forms intrigues her.

Tate encourages students to try things that interest them, even if it means taking a risk or doing something they normally wouldn’t think about.

“You don’t know if you don’t try,” Tate said.

“Everyone is so worried about failing, so we don’t try the things that we might be really amazing at.”

coughed it up near the goal line to end the streak.

The lone fumble marked the fewest by an FBS team since the 2004 Northern Illinois team, but a fumble-free season would’ve etched Iowa State into the NCAA record book.

Even though the Cyclones missed an opportunity for history, the emphasis on ball protection is obvious.

Throughout Campbell’s opening press conference at media day in early August, the third-year Iowa State coach had a few statistics off the top of his head on the impact turnovers make to a game.

Campbell gave a spiel about his personal valuation of turnovers and added that Iowa State is 10-2 in games with a positive turnover margin since his time in Ames.

The Cyclones should figure to be in a handful of close games as previously mentioned, and to snag more close wins against top Big 12 opponents, Iowa State will rely on the turnover battle.

South Duff Avenue to reopen Friday

BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com South Duff Avenue will be reopening on Friday with continued construction, according to a press release from the City of Ames.

Even though the section of South Duff Avenue from Jewel Drive to Ken Maril Road will reopen on Friday, delays should be expected.

“Motorists will be traveling through an active construction site and should proceed with caution and expect delays,” according to the press release.

Thirteenth Street from Ridgewood Avenue to Curtiss Avenue will continue to be closed until Con-Struct, the company working on the construction project, finishes the first phase. The first phase was projected to be finished Friday, but rain delayed the project.

“Delays and forecasted rain have put the first phase of the project two to four days behind schedule,” according to the press release. “The 13th street project includes street and utility improvements from Ridgewood Avenue east to Harding Avenue.”

The South Duff Avenue construction was done to widen the road and its usage.

“The City of Ames has contracted with ConStruct, Inc. to widen South Duff Avenue to three lanes, construct a shared use path from Ken Maril Road to Kitty Hawk Drive, and install a traffic signal at Crystal Street,” according to the press release.

Motorists can expect delays and stopages until the construction is completed.

“Motorists are encouraged to consider other routes,” according to the press release. “The traffic light at Crystal Street will be installed during the winter. The entire project is anticipated to be completed by early spring 2019.”

Women on the ballot Experiment: Multiple candidates lowers success

BY MADELYN.OSTENDORF @iowastatedaily.com When a single woman is running for political office, the single candidate does just as well as a male counterpart, according to a recent experiment by researchers at Iowa State.

The experiment, titled “Two’s a Crowd: Wo m e n C a n d i d a t e s i n C o n c u r r e n t Elections,” also found down-ballot, or lower office, female candidates tend to experience a significant drop in votes when another female candidate runs for a higher position in the same election cycle.

L ead author Tessa Ditonto and her co-author David Andersen, both assistant professors of political science, conducted two experiments centered around women on the ballot.

“Most research on American elections looks at each independent campaign as if it was in isolation, and we wanted to look at a more realistic scenario, taking into account the broader political environment,” Andersen said. “It’s important, especially today, because more women than ever are running for political office, and it’s probably not accurate to pretend like that doesn’t matter.”

Ditonto and Andersen used a series of campaign simulations to gather data on voting habits. The participants in the experiments answered a series of questions about their partisanship, ideologies, stance on political issues and demographics. After answering questions, the subjects sat through a mock campaign for many governmental positions and were shown information about all the candidates on the ballot.

The researchers could systematically vary the gender of the candidates that the participants could vote for. After the subjects had completed the campaign, they answered another series of questions about what they learned, what they thought about each candidate, and which candidates they would vote for.

“Because we can vary the gender of candidates, we can see whether how many women they saw at one time affects how they learn during the campaign and whether it affects what they say about the candidates

after the campaign,” Ditonto said.

The results of the experiments pointed to one strong conclusion: when there was a single woman running for an office, that candidate did just as well as her male counterpart.

W hen more women were added to the bal lot, howe ver, those who were running lower on the ballot did worse.

People disliked and were less likely to vote for the down-ballot woman if there was an upper-ballot woman also running. Andersen and Ditonto hypothesize that this result has to do with female stereotypes.

“Female candidates are often seen as less competent, less qualified and they have to address these stereotypes to the voters,” Andersen said.

Higher office candidates tend to have higher budgets for their campaigns, and the populace gets to know that candidate better. With the down-ballot offices, there is less of a budget and less is known about the candidate, so the voters form opinions

based on stereotypes; women being quiet and submissive, and men being decisive and dominant, according to the experiment.

The strength and consistency of the findings surprised the researchers.

“The fact that we found essentially the same things across two different experiments and that it was such a striking series of findings, we were a little surprised by that,” Ditonto said. “Theoretically, it made sense that we would find something, but it was more robust that we anticipated.”

The concept of women being negatively affected by stereotypes is not new.

Kelley Winfrey, interim director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center, has seen a significant gap between males and females participating in political affairs both on the ballot and on campus.

“We know that women are less likely to take classes in political science or government, they are less likely to be involved in political organizations when they are on campus, and are less likely to be involved in political discussion,” Winfrey said.

At the college level, women are not as included in the conversation surrounding the political climate, for a variety of reasons, and that exclusion may result in a hesitancy to pursue a political career, Winfrey said.

Ditonto, Andersen and Winfrey all agree on the most logical solution to lack of gender diversity in politics: Get women on the ballot. As more and more females are listed on ballots, the thought of women in politics becomes more normalized, and the stereotype of men being the only gender suitable for leadership will begin to break down.

“When we see women candidates running against each other, we start thinking about the topic of gender. Similarly, all the stories talking about the record number of female candidates are making more people think about gender, and that could strengthen the effect,” Andersen said.

Ditonto and Andersen plan to compare their simulation data with the results of the 2018 election.

PREVIEW

CHANGING EXPECTATIONS

BY ISD SPORTS STAFF Iowa State opens the third year of the Matt Campbell era this Saturday at 7 p.m. against South Dakota State. Through two years, Campbell and his staff have revolutionized the program and taken it to heights unseen.

The 2017 campaign saw two victories over top-5 ranked opponents, along with the fourth bowl win in school history.

This season figures to be pivotal for the program — can the Cyclones continue to ascend on the national stage, moving up the ladder in the Big 12? Or was 2017 a flash in the pan?

EXPECTATIONS Iowa State opened the 2017 season with tempered expectations. The team hadn’t won more than three games in a season since 2012. Year one of the Campbell era ended with a 3-9 record.

You know the story by now. Joel Lanning, a former quarterback, started at middle linebacker.

Kyle Kempt, the walk-on quarterback who had never started a game in four years of college, took over halfway through the season.

The Cyclones rattled off an epic October, grabbed a bid into the Liberty Bowl, and capped the season with a win over Memphis in the Tigers’ own stadium.

Now? Now, expectations are different.

The success of 2017 is fresh on everyone’s mind. A year ago, 6-6 would have pleased a lot of fans — yet many would consider six wins in 2018 to be a disappointment.

Win eight games again, contend for the Big 12 title, and the Matt Campbell to [insert big name school here] rumors will continue. But struggle to reach a bowl game, come out flat to start the year against the cream of the crop in the Big 12, and the doubters will be proven right.

Each week will be different this year. Iowa State won’t sneak up on anyone this time around.

“Like coach Campbell mentioned, nobody’s gonna be surprised by us anymore,” said redshirt senior linebacker Willie Harvey. “We have to come out and play from the jump.”

The top two teams from last year’s Big 12 standings will both have the Cyclones circled on their calendars. Oklahoma won’t soon forget its

lone loss of the 2017 campaign, which came at the hands of Kyle Kempt and Iowa State. TCU faced some roster turnover from last year but the memory of last year’s loss in Ames won’t be forgotten, either.

CLOSE GAMES Campbell can’t talk about them enough.

Iowa State has had issues with closing out games for years now, and especially in the Matt Campbell era. Close losses include games against Northern Iowa, Oklahoma State and Baylor in 2016 and Oklahoma State, Kansas State, West Virginia and Iowa from last year. The Cyclones had seven (seven!) games last season that were decided by a touchdown or less. Looking at the

schedule, there’s potential for there to be just as many, if not MORE, contests that go down to the wire.

Even in September alone, Oklahoma and Iowa present challenges that could be extremely tight contests when it gets down to winning time. West Virginia, TCU and Oklahoma State were all tight games last season, and they protect to be just as hard to predict in 2018.

Last season was the first time in at least 16 seasons that Iowa State had a positive point differential. 16 years! The Cyclones have been living in the red, but now they live in the grey area of close games and toss-ups. The football wizard Bill Connelly of SBNation sees Iowa State finishing anywhere from 4-8 to 9-3 (his S&P+ system projects the team to finish 6-6).

Campbell likes to reference Kansas State and Bill Snyder as examples of building a consistent bowl team out of thin air. Kansas State lives off of keeping games close and winning those close games. As much as Iowa State fans might not like to hear it, Iowa does the same things. Teams without a long history of success lean on close games in order to sometimes overachieve.

The controversial finishes of the Oklahoma State and Kansas State games aside, Iowa State can (potentially) win more games this year by learning from some of their Big 12 counterparts.

The more comfortable the Cyclones become in crunch time, the closer they’ll get to reaching the next level.

PLAYERS 2 WATCH David Montgomery

Christian Rozeboom

The Iowa State offense starts with David Montgomery. With a reshuffled offensive line from last year, Montgomery will be leaned on to cover some of the blemishes on the line. Opponents exposed the South Dakota State rush defense last season. In 2017, Jackrabbit opponents averaged 170.8 yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry. Along with creating his own yardage, Montgomery can also be key in the pass-blocking aspect of the Iowa State offense by picking up blitzing linebackers, like Rozeboom. If Iowa State wants to kick off the season with a win, Montgomery needs to wear down the Jackrabbit defense throughout the game.

Christian Rozeboom is a mean, lean tackling-machine for the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. The junior linebacker has been a staple in the South Dakota State defense since his redshirt freshman season in 2016. The immediate impact was showcased in the Jackrabbits’ box scores. In his 13 starts as a redshirt freshman, Rozeboom led the team in tackles with 132. The Sioux Center, Iowa, native followed up the stellar first season by leading the team in tackles with 127 in his redshirt sophomore campaign. Rozeboom will be a pivotal piece to the Jackrabbit defense with his knack for tackling.

GOOD COP vs. BAD COP

BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com

BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com

Despite finishing one game shy of the FCS National Championship last season, South Dakota State will not have a chance against Iowa State this Saturday.

Last season, it was James Madison that knocked South Dakota State out of the FCS Playoffs by a score of 51-16.

James Madison boasted one of the best defenses at the FCS level last season. The Dukes dominated the Jackrabbits in the trenches and were sticky in coverage against elite level receivers including 2018 first round pick in tight end Dallas Goedert and standout wideout Jake Wieneke.

The bad news for the Jackrabbits is that Goedert, Wieneke and other top receivers have graduated, and Iowa State figures to field one of the top defensive teams in the Big 12 this season, anchored by preseason All-Big 12 honorees in cornerback Brian Peavy and defensive end JaQuan Bailey.

Against James Madison, South Dakota State was gashed by running back Marcus Marshall to the tune of 203 yards on 15 carries. With Iowa State’s solid line, David Montgomery, who led the nation in forced missed tackles per Pro Football Focus, should be able to turn out 175 yards easily.

If SDSU can adequately defend Iowa State’s running game, there isn’t a chance they can stop Iowa State’s passing game with Kyle Kempt at quarterback and Chase Allen, Hakeem Butler and Matthew Eaton catching passes, just to name a few.

FINAL IOWA STATE 48 | SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 6

If there’s any fanbase that knows what it’s like to have hope going into a game/season, only to quickly have that hope demolished in hilariously awful fashion, it’s Iowa State.

There hasn’t been this much hype around Cyclone football since the Seneca Wallace days, and it’s easy to understand why. Iowa State beat three ranked teams last season, finished 8-5 and won a bowl game, and will return key contributors on both sides of the ball going into this season.

On top of that, Matt Campbell and his staff have done a great job at both recruiting and developing, and have instilled a discipline in the Cyclones not seen in a long time. Everything seems to be trending up for the Cyclones.

Past experiences indicate that this is about the time where everything comes crashing down. Simply put, ignore the fact that they’re in the FCS. The Jackrabbits are good, and have been for the better part of the last seven years. They have the talent and winning culture necessary to beat several FBS-level teams.

Heck, last year they beat FCS dynasty (and frequent Power-five killers) North Dakota State to give the Bison their only loss of the season.

ISU is deeper and more talented than they’ve been a long time, but the Jackrabbits are plenty deep too, and this SDSU team is better than the Northern Iowa squad that beat Iowa State to open the 2016 season.

Iowa State’s offense might take a few possessions to get rolling, but South Dakota State isn’t Alabama. Iowa State should be able to work out the kinks on the fly and score consistently.

South Dakota State’s supposed to be a good FCS team this year, but I doubt they’re able to keep up with Iowa State over four quarters.

David Montgomery was tough to tackle for Big 12 teams last year. With an improved Iowa State offensive line, I can’t see South Dakota State causing troubles for Montgomery. As long as Iowa State’s passing game can spread out the secondary Iowa State should roll.

It could be close for a quarter or a half, but I think once halftime ends, the Cyclone offense will start to fire on all cylinders.

Iowa State 34, South Dakota State 20

I think Iowa State start slow, but eventually wear down the Jackrabbits toward the end of the game. The Cyclones have to replace program pillars Joel Lanning, Jake Campos, Allen Lazard and a handful of other contributors from last season.

On the offensive side of the ball, the offensive line may struggle in the first half, but I think they’ll smooth it out in the second half and allow David Montgomery to ice the game for the Cyclones.

Defensively, Iowa State should out-man South Dakota State on the line, but the Cyclones have some question marks at other positions. The MIKE linebacker position has been an open competition for most the off season between Mike Rose, O’Rien Vance and Bobby McMillen III. I expect a combination of the trio to see the field throughout the game.

Iowa State 38, South Dakota State 14

This should be pretty simple for Iowa State. Emphasis on should.

Over the years, Iowa State has certainly had its fair share of issues with FCS opponents, with multiple losses to Northern Iowa and a convincing defeat to Missouri Valley juggernaut North Dakota State on the record within the decade. South Dakota State is no slouch, ranked third in the FCS preseason poll. However, Iowa State’s coming off of one of the best seasons in its history and won’t want to start off with a dud.

As solid as they will be on defense, the Cyclones’ trouble spot may be on the offensive side of the ball. I can see them taking a while to get going, shaking off the rust and adjusting to a new offensive line and life without Allen Lazard. In the second half though, the Cyclones will wear South Dakota State down and then coast to a victory.

Iowa State 24, South Dakota State 17

I may not be a sports writer, but I have spent enough weekends of my life watching football with my father, and have played plenty of flag football myself, to be confident in saying that the Cyclones will come out on top this weekend.

With Iowa State opening their season at home, they definitely will not want to disappoint fans, especially after last years amazing season. But it still is the first game, so the Cyclones’ offense will probably take a bit to get moving. But after their first few possessions, I see Iowa State finding their groove as a team to overcome the Jackrabbits.

Also, my mother is a proud alum of South Dakota State. Despite that, I still have to say that the Jackrabbits won’t be heading home with a win this weekend. Sorry Mom.

CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Now-redshirt junior receiver Hakeem Butler high steps into the endzone after making a catch during the first quarter of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee.

NEW-LOOK CYCLONES: Highly-anticipated season kicks off

BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s opening opponent might not be an FBS program, but nobody is sleeping on South Dakota State.

The Jackrabbits (ranked No. 3 in the Football Championship Subdivision by the coaches poll) have a chance to pull an upset Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium at 7 p.m.

South Dakota State went 11-3 last year and won two games in the FCS playoffs before losing to James Madison in the semifinals. In 2016, South Dakota State racked up 41 points in a loss to TCU in the season opener, so the Jackrabbits aren’t afraid of the bright Big 12 lights.

South Dakota State’s offense averaged over 37 points per game last year, outscoring opponents by nearly two touchdowns per game.

The key to that well-oiled machine is senior quarterback Taryn Christion.

Christion threw for 35 touchdowns and 3,515 yards a season ago. He also piled up 500 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.

“He’s a difference maker,” said Iowa State defensive coordinator Jon Heacock. “He’s a dangerous guy... he makes them go.”

The strength Iowa State may have against Christion’s

success.”

For younger wide receivers like redshirt freshman Tarique Milton and redshirt sophomores Jalen Martin and Landen Akers, working behind Butler and the veterans has helped.

So has playing against All-Big 12 redshirt senior cornerback Brian Peavy in practice each day.

“I think that’s one of the great strengths of being a scout team player,” Gasser said. “You’re getting a chance to go against the 1s and the 2s on the other side of the ball.”

Gasser said with the right approach, the scout team players can get better while also pushing the first-stringers in practice.

One player who fits that description is redshirt sophomore tight end Chase Allen. Allen, who caught four passes for 39 yards last year, will have to take a bigger role as a receiver in 2018. That could start with South Dakota State.

South Dakota State ranked 60th in the FCS last year in passing yards allowed, so if there’s ever a time for someone to break out — whether that’s Allen or another tight end — Saturday might be it.

“We’re finally in a position where we can take that next step and fill that role the team needs,” Allen said. “We had a conversation [Wednesday] with all the tight ends. What really determines who’s starting is what play we’re running first. We all have different talents, different strengths and different weaknesses.”

“He’s a veteran guy,” Heacock said. “Nothing phases him... he eludes pressure and he can throw the ball down the field.”

But South Dakota State isn’t the only team who will be hoping for new players to step up on Saturday.

Iowa State is replacing its leading tackler from last year in Joel Lanning, along with both starting safeties. Wide receiver is another spot with a lot of turnover for the Cyclones.

Redshirt junior Hakeem Butler is the only returning player with more than 300 receiving yards last season.

“I think we’ve got a great group of leaders, Hakeem being one of them,” said wide receivers coach Bryan Gasser. “The thing Hakeem does a really great job of is he brings it every day. He’s the same guy, he’s consistent.”

Butler has been tasked with leading a young group of receivers on the outside while also helping the tight ends.

Other than Butler, junior Deshaunte Jones and redshirt senior Matthew Eaton have some collegiate experience at receiver. Jones has 809 career receiving yards and six touchdowns while Eaton hauled in four touchdowns in 2017.

Cyclones gear up for Colorado trip

BY SAM.STUVE @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State soccer has dropped three games in a row — all by one goal — but the Cyclones are optimistic heading into their games this weekend at Denver on Friday at 8 p.m central and at Colorado 2 p.m. central on Sunday.

This trip is a special one for the Cyclones, as they have five Colorado natives on their roster and coach Tony Minatta used to coach soccer in Colorado.

The first game of the road trip will be against the Denver Pioneers on the road on Friday night.

The Pioneers are 1-2-1 this season with a win at Florida International, losses against Colorado College and Florida Atlantic and a draw against Colorado State.

Iowa State and Denver have faced each other once before, that being in 2014 with escaping with a 2-1 win in Denver.

Last season, the Pioneers finished 11-9-1 and qualified for the NCAA tournament after they won the Summit League tournament. They are picked to repeat as champions this season.

“It’s a good team with a lot of talent,” Minatta said.

“Their coach, Jeff Hooker, has been there for a while and we know that they are going to be technical, athletic and well organized.”

Following the matchup with Denver, the Cyclones will travel 33 miles to face old Big 12 foe Colorado.

Colorado went 12-6-4 last season, qualified for the NCAA tournament and won one game before losing in the second round.

“They have a lot of talent and they could very well be one of the top teams in the Pac-12 this season,” Minatta said.

Sunday ’s matchup will be the second time that the Cyclones and Buffaloes have faced off since the Buffaloes left the Big 12 in 2012.

Their last meeting was in 2015, with Colorado coming

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Senior Klasey Medelberg defending the ball against the Texas Tech Rangers during their match on Oct. 22, 2017.

out on top 2-1.

All-time, the Buffaloes have had the Cyclones number, as they hold a 13-2-1 record against the Cyclones all-time.

So far this season the Buffaloes have not allowed a goal, and they have outscored their opponents 9-0 in the

regular-season.

They are 2-0-1 on the season, and they were picked to finish fifth in the Pac 12 this season.

In their last matchup, the Buffaloes dominated from start to finish and defeated the Missouri Tigers 6-0.

Volleyball travels to Montana

BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com 1,266.8 miles.

That’s how far Iowa State will travel to Missoula, Montana, to face the likes of Gonzaga, Montana and Utah in the Montana Invitational.

The invitational is a four-team, round-robin tournament running from Friday until Saturday.

Iowa State will look to knock off Utah, its second ranked team of the week, after Iowa State was able to beat No. 17 Northern Iowa on Wednesday. In three sets, the Cyclones sweep the Panthers on the road in front of a sell-out crowd.

“I thought last weekend [at the Cyclone Challenge] was a little disappointing in that I never thought we looked like a team,” coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “I thought ‘we’re so athletic’, you could line us up: ‘Wow. She could be an All-Big 12 player, she could be an All-Big 12 player, she could be an All-American,’ but we didn’t look like a team.”

Johnson-Lynch said that she finally saw her team compete as a team and develop chemistry against Northern Iowa in a tough atmosphere.

Utah checks in at No. 22 with a 2-1 record after beating UC Irvine 3-0, losing to Saint Mary’s (California) 3-2 and beating Denver 3-2.

At this time, Iowa State is on the outside looking in of the AVCA Top 25. Iowa State was ranked No. 21 in the top 25 preseason poll, but lost to Oregon State at home on Aug. 25 and are now in receiving votes.

Iowa State will face the Utes in the Cyclones’ last game of the invitational on Saturday at 12 p.m.

Prior to that game, Iowa State will first face Gonzaga on Friday at 1 p.m. On the same day, Iowa State will square off with Montana at 8 p.m.

Currently, Gonzaga is sitting at a 0-2 record after losing two bouts to No. 11 UCLA. The Bulldogs lost both games to UCLA 3-1.

In the 8 p.m. game, Iowa State will be facing a Montana team that is currently winless after losses to UC-Riverside, Cal State Fullerton and Akron.

Iowa State will look to even up the all-time series versus Montana, with the current record sitting at 3-2 in favor of the Grizzlies.

GILLIAN HOLTE/ IOWA STATE DAILY The Cyclone volleyball team cheers after scoring against Ole Miss during their Aug. 24 game in Hilton Coliseum.

The last time these two teams met, Iowa State won 3-0 and seniors Hannah Bailey and Grace Lazard lead the Cyclones with eight kills apiece.

Lazard has been on a tear this season, and in her last game against Northern Iowa she had eight kills, an ace and five block assists.

Johnson-Lynch said that she credits Lazard’s uptick in play on how well she has been varying where she attacks the court.

In Iowa State’s last three games, the Cyclones have been averaging 12.75 assists, 15.5 digs and 3.25 blocks a set. Also, they have been averaging 13.67 kills per set and a .259 hitting percentage.

Johnson-Lynch said that she wants to replicate the blocking prowess of last year’s team which averaged around three blocks a set. Earlier in the season, Johnson-Lynch said that Iowa State wasn’t performing up to her expectations.

In Iowa State’s first game, the team had four blocks in the entirety of the contest.

If Iowa State is able to run the table at the Montana Invitational, two wins against top 25 teams could propel Iowa State back into the polls.
