I have to believe our defensive back field may be the best in FCS and rival some really good FBS teams. The Panthers are stacked back there and have crazy good depth. The trouble may be getting playing time for them all.

I tend to agree. Which is why I won't be the least bit surprised to see Hall at LB - especially if Farley is out.

This will really give teams fits when they get behind and can't throw to catch up.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

I know once upon a time there was talk of Duncan Ferch's brother transferring from ISU to wear purple and gold but I saw that he and another Cyclone walk-on were given scholarships by CPR this week. I guess that settles that then.

[Panther AC]

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

The Ferch brother that was rumored leaving ISU was Dalton, who was listed as a 5' 10" 200 lb. redshirt freshman running back when we played in Ames last season. He's not listed on their 2014 roster. The oldest Ferch brother Drake, now a redshirt senior, was awarded an ISU scholarship recently.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

I have heard that Dalton has decided to no longer play football and just remain at ISU as a student
