 One college football magazine believes Iowa State is geared for a breakthrough season in the new Big 12 conference. The Cyclones have an experienced team returning from last year's squad that overcame a slow start to finish 7-6. And Phil Steele's college football preview is calling the Cyclones a Big 12 title contender. You look at Iowa State this year, you've got to like the fact that Rocco Beck now has experience at the quarterback position. Abu Sama had a great finish last year. He's back at running back along with Carson Hanson. I like the receiving corps.
