On not being ranked Lance hasn't worried about it because he can't control that.

Wants to stay focused on Iowa State and left a lot of things out there against Duke.

All they talk about it ISU.

Playing WVU already they don't have to talk about opening of conference play.

ISU physical and well coached.

Asked what it would look like if they keep winning, Leipold said they aren't looking ahead. They are staying grounded.

They have talked about what success can do for your program, with alumni, recruiting. You can't get too distracted or consumed.

When asked about ISU from last year some different faces and lost some good players hut are the same schematically.

This will be a challenging game.

Duke was a physical game and credit to Duke. Normal banged up players after four games.

Ky Thomas banged up a lower extremity issue.

He has felt strongly about having a successful football program. It starts off the school year and sets the tone. Has heard it from high school admins as well at that level.

Last year said they wanted to compare themselves to Iowa State last year their facilities were impressive.

ISU has a good run game and play action.

Has to get more stops on defense and two personal foul calls and a PI, 4- 4th quarter penalties not what they want. Thinks defense is playing more aggressively.

They have to win the TO battle. They had to burn a TO coming out of a TV TO and he wasn't happy with that.

On Hishaw's run talked about 3-4 red jerseys escorting him to the end zone. Mentioned McBride's blocking on that play.

Leipold said they have to be well-rounded moving forward. Offensively small things to clean but really likes their balance.
