As the season crescendos toward its pinnacle, Iowa State's head coach, Matt Campbell, braces for the emotions that typically accompany senior day or senior night. Tears flow, memories linger, and heartfelt embraces mark the occasion when the Cyclones' eldest players take the field for the last time each November at home. For Campbell, these moments are poignant as he witnesses his seniors bid adieu, acknowledging their resilience in navigating the challenges that define a college football season. "This group has handled hard better than any group of kids that I have dealt with at least for these last eight years," expressed Campbell, lauding the exceptional senior leadership that has steered the youthful Cyclones (6-4, 5-2 Big 12) through a season marked by adversity.
