A podcast dedicated to Iowa and Iowa State fans, friends and followers. Ethan Petrik and Ben Hutchens offer expert analysis of the Hawkeyes and Cyclones.
Iowa State junior quarterback Rocco Becht is transferring (https://qctimes.com/tncms/asset/editorial/7cc223f5-6437-4c7e-b9e7-8301e8f242f7/).
The past three seasons as starting quarterback, Becht has led ISU to 26 wins, the Big 12 Championship game and two wins against Iowa. Now, after coach Matt Campbell left ISU for Penn State (https://qctimes.com/tncms/asset/editorial/c3bfca2d-c57a-49f7-9ab8-c9779345e18c/), Becht is also leaving Ames.
Beat reporters Ben Hutchens and Ethan Petrik discuss Becht's intention to enter the portal and what is next for ISU at quarterback.
