ARLINGTON Breece Hall said it best last season when Iowa State hoisted the Fiesta Bowl trophy over Oregon.
Not five-star talent, but rather Five-Star Culture. That culture will be on full view in 2021 as the Cyclones look to build off a season where they proved the doubters wrong.
“The five-star culture just really defines our team,” Hall said inside AT&T Stadium on Wednesday at Big 12 Media Days. “It shows that we don’t have those guys that everybody wants. We don’t have the guys who care about the glitz and glamour and the guys with all the hype. We just have guys who are ready to come in, work their butts off and play.”
The first game of the Steve Sarkisian era is Sept. 4 against the Louisiana Raginâ Cajuns.
The first game of Iowa Stateâs 2020 season was also against the Louisiana Raginâ Cajuns. Billy Napierâs team traveled to Ames, Iowa and defeated the Cyclones 31-14. ISU quarterback Brock Purdy was 16-of-35 for 145 yards with one interception. Running back Breece Hall tallied 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Xavier Hutchinson, ISUâs leading receiver in 2020, had four catches for 43 yards.
UL forced two turnovers and committed only two penalties.
The win began Louisianaâs dream season that included one blemish at the hands of fellow Sun Belt school and eventual top-15 team Coastal Carolina.
