TCU: Trevon Moehrig

Boy, the non-conference slate went by fast, didn't it? Felt like everyone was a member of a John Calipari recruiting class, one and done.

Following its big upset loss to the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, Iowa State was able to regroup and regather itself with a bye week before it heads to Fort Worth, Texas, to play the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday.

Let’s just say the Louisiana loss to start the 2020 season was less than ideal for Iowa State. Some may have a little bit more of a colorful viewpoint on that, but we’ll just stick with less than ideal.

The first game of the season ended in a worst-case scenario situation for Iowa State. Not only did Iowa State lose to Louisiana in its only nonconference game, but they were blown out 31-14.

To take a page out of Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard's book, I decided to write an open letter to address some issues that have taken place these last two weeks on our campus. Specifically, the topic of closing Stephens Auditorium and the decision to have no fans in the stands is the topic of conversation in this letter.

Iowa State football, along with the world of college football, made its big return for the 2020 season over the weekend.

Iowa State kicked its season off against the University of Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns on Saturday. The Cyclones lost to the Ragin’ Cajuns 31-14.
