The thing is, he figured out how to shut down Rileys offenses with 2 and 3 star talent with their scheme. NFL coaches began reaching out to him for advice and other college coaches as well.
Breece Hall is a top 3 rb in college football, Kolar is a top TE, they have another TE who is also really good. Mike Rose is a top 5 MLB. All those kids would start right now even at OU.
So he underachieved for whatever reason this yr. Bad breaks etc. But they had a really talented squad this season. Regardless of their record they're the most talented Iowa St squad ever had
ou really dropped the ball on not getting Kolar
