Psyclone and CyPlainsDrifter.....

Psyclone, thanks for stopping by yesterday and dragging CyPlainsDrifter with you. Make sure you say hi to Penny for Mrs. Cygarin and me.

CyPlainsDrifter, thanks for taking a few minutes to stop by. It was a pleasure meeting you.

Whichever one of you who took my pocket protector though, bring it back! It's my favorite one and I've had it a long time!

FOOTBALL ***RELEASE: Becht on Unitas Golden Arm Award Top 25***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State redshirt sophomore Rocco Becht has helped lead the Cyclones to a No. 11 ranking and a 5-0 start for the first time since 1980. On Monday, his efforts were recognized when he earned a spot on The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Top 25.

Becht, a Wesley Chapel, Florida, native, has completed a career-best 65.9 percent of his passes and has nine touchdown passes in the season’s first five games. He is averaging 234.6 yards per game and has connected on seven passes of at least 30 yards.

Becht has thrown 32 touchdown passes in his career and recently became the 10th player in school history to eclipse 4,000 passing yards. He has 4,358 passing yards in his career, ranking eighth all-time at ISU.

Becht and the Cyclones are back in action Saturday at West Virginia at 7 p.m. (CT) on FOX.
