Iowa State prepares to play Houston, with Matt Campbell on the brink of Cyclone history

AMES, Iowa (KCRG) – With a win at Houston, Matt Campbell will move past Dan McCarney as the all time winningest coach at Iowa State.

“I’ve been really fortunate to have great people stay here for a long time and have longevity,” said Campbell. “We’ve had staff members that have stayed the course here and had the opportunity to leave, I would say the same thing for our players.”

“Those things are way more than winning and losing football games be honest with you creating culture.”

“Coach Campbell is not somebody that goes out and talks about stuff like that,” said wide receiver Jayden Higgins. “But it’s really big to the team and then the organization as a whole. He’s just contributed so much and we want to get that win.”

“He hasn’t talked about it much yet, but we all know it,” said quarterback Rocco Becht. “It is going to be important for us to go out there and get that one for him because he means so much to us and we trust in him, so just go out and fight for him on Saturday.”

Iowa State will take on Houston Saturday at 6:00 pm on FS1.
