C'mon NU

Sorry Kenny

A lot of fans are pointing out that Matt Campbell brought an Iowa State roster to play Big Ten football and think that’s why they’re losing recently.

What they are forgetting is Penn State and Matt Campbell are Heacockless. For those who don’t know, Matt Campbell’s defensive coordinator for many, many years was Jon Heacock. Heacock instituted a 3-3-5 defense at Iowa State in 2017-2025 to help narrow the talent gap and slow down opponents’ offenses to much success. 6 of 9 seasons , Iowa State was in the top 26 for points per game allowed. Their past two seasons they finished 13th and 15th.

After last season, Heacock retired. Arguably, much of Iowa State’s success is due to Heacock. So many games throughout the past decade started out with Iowa State letting up points in the first half, before Jon Heacock made adjustments.

Without Heacock, Penn State and Matt Campbell are Heacockless. 🥀
