"That is a m-----f----- to prepare for."

Regardless of ratings, predictions, or odds, the Iowa State program continues to be one of the top stories in this year's preseason press coverage. This comment is one of the more creative.

Please don’t share things behind a paywall. TIA.
A generous ESPN+ subscriber shared the Iowa State section with me. I will paraphrase best I can to avoid sharing things behind a paywall:

Coaches are very impressed with what a certain coach is doing in a certain town in central Iowa, especially on the non-offensive side of the ball. The college football team from the certain town return All-Conference players at all three levels of their non-offensive unit, which projects to be the league's best in 2019. "Schematically, that is an m-----f----- to prepare for," a coach in the same conference said, "just because it's so unique and so different, and really challenges you in a lot of different ways." The person in charge of the non-offensive side of the ball on that certain team runs a scheme one opposing coordinator described as a hybrid front that keeps extra players near the box to help with the run while using Cover 3 and Cover 4 in the secondary. "It's a really good defense for the conference that certain team plays in," an opposing offensive coordinator said. "Their non-offensive unit isn't necessarily designed to stop RPOs, but more to take away the downfield stuff, the crossing routes. They have a big mike linebacker more involved in run game, the guy whose last name is a flower, and then a safety hybrid type who can pick up the guy running through, [who shares a first name with one of the certain school's former basketball coaches]." An offensive line coach in the same conference of the certain team added of the certain team's non-offensive side of the ball, "You have to get a little bit outside of your box from a game-planning standpoint."

I knew Drake was good based on that December game I didn't realize they were attracting national attention.
