Obviously, I am pro Iowa state here, so this is going to come across as biased. BUT, before this year, I would agree with this comment, this is the first year, CS has stayed "in it" year around. They worked all summer long and he brought the frost brothers along. I think he is maturing and figuring out how to be a leader. I am not in any way saying he can beat Mendez, I am saying he should be better mentally and shape wise.
