Welcome in everybody to the flagship podcast.

I am Chip Brown of Orrence 247.com joined by Nick O'Sin, publisher of cyclone alert.com on the 24-7 sports network.

It's where you get all your cyclone information as Texas prepares to take on Iowa State.

Saturday at 11 a.m. at DKR on either ABC or ESPN 2, they're telling us.

And Nick, thanks for joining us, first of all. I'm looking at Iowa State, and I'm seeing

this monster defense, this Sudoku puzzle of a defense. No one can seem to figure out. They're holding teams way below

their scoring average. And then I see Iowa State's offense and special teams. And I want to,

I just want to like say, what is going on here because uh this is you know the statistically the best

defense in the big 12 and offensively they've scored one touchdown in their last two games they've

lost three straight to Baylor uh to Kansas to K state but they lost to Kansas 1411. They lost to K-State 10 to 9. I mean, this is like

old-school leather helmet football, Nick. It really is. You know, we talked just here before we

kind of got on here about how good this Iowa State defense has been. And it's the truth. You know, it's not just

the defense compared to the offense and the special teams. It's one of the best units easily in the

Big 12, potentially the country. I mean, they keep this team truly in every game. But the way that

the offense has struggled, the special teams has in a few games, it's,

you know, been a little better at least this weekend that we just saw.

But the offense, it's got way too much talent to kind of be performing the way that it is.

You know, Hunter Decker's, this is his first year really starting.

And he can make just about every throw.

You know, he's fairly mobile.

He's got all of the trust and confidence of his teammates.

But they just haven't really been able to put these things together.
