At the top, the Iowa State Cyclones will lead the entire Big 12. They return 94% of their offense and 88% of their overall team. Experience isn’t everything in the game of football but it certainly helps when your back is against the wall. Iowa State should be one of the teams at the top of the conference again with who returns.
On the other end of the spectrum, you have the Texas Longhorns. They return the least production and they have a new staff in place. Will there be growing pains with the personnel and staff? Most likely, especially when your most important position is a first-year starter.
