Iowa State bounced back from the Cy-Hawk loss in a huge way, crushing Bowling Green 55-7 at Jack Trice Stadium as the Cyclones head into Big 12 play. Matt Van Winkle and Ben Bruns break down Iowa…

Matt Van WinkleHostChris WilliamsGuestNow, they're using Petaway in different spots, okay? It's not like this guy's buried on the bench.
I was talking to some people this morning, and I just – Aiden Flora has one of the great offensive games in Iowa State history.
But I said, I was like, I just don't know how Aiden can stay healthy with the size and, like, the workload and just, like – it terrifies me.
And, like – Brunzi, I love getting this Barnes 10, 12 carries a game if he's going to have production.
Because the size of your other two running back, this is a big development if this guy can keep moving.
You know, when we came out of the game last week, feeling like he had a chance to really help this team going forward and, you know, to see it bear fruit this week is critical.
And that opens things up for a downhill runner where you don't have to try and get to the edge all the time.
And Flora is fantastic, especially when we're stretching a defense with a stretch play.
But Barnes I just think that you have a more downhill, more direct threat that can be durable, as you say, Chris.
And you know, I, I just, I want to see both quarterbacks have a chance to run that kind of setup over time.
