No further word, but I was right next to the sideline cart that he got on and it didn't look terribly good to me. He hurt either his forearm or wrist pretty good and was in quite a bit of pain. Hopefully its something less serious, but I would put my bet on him having broken something.
I think that will be our biggest loss out of this game. Banks was playing well and with a lot of emotion. Not really sure what his future plans are, but presumably he could get a redshirt year if he did break something and return for two more years in the future. We could certainly use him extensively after Singleton and Bell graduate.
It's misleading there...their heading should be "punts received" or something the way they have it listed.
GC just said we played 9 freshman tonight...... Top of my head - LJ, SJ, TB, CB, EF, SH, SR........
Was it the freshman snapper Dakota _______? (Can't remember last name.)
Edit: Looked it up...Zimmerman.
wowza!!! just got home and boy that defense can hit!!! i was very impressed that even on positive plays for SDSU they were getting lit up, very nice to see. LJ looked pretty dang good for a freshman corner.
defintely room to improve but was a very positive first game

Loved Arnaud's poise...he is the starter...he managed the game real well, loved ISU's check with me no huddle...and Bates has to play, too. I think they can both play all season long, and it would be a good thing. Once Bates earns more trust.
DL did well against the run for three quarters, but I would have liked to see them dominate an FCS team more....interior DL's didn't stand out. Back 7 played very good assignment football...was impressed with the discipline of the LB's. SDSU never tested ISU downfield, so that test will come
OL was solid...not much pressure on the QB's at all, which is good. At times, dominated the line in the running game, but would like to see more of that and more consistent...give em a pass, because that first half, with all the craziness, it was hard to get into any sort of flow.
Freshmen...future is bright...
Near perfect first game save turnovers and penalties...still meat on the bone for the coaches to pick off.
Much more tomorrow

I think this was the exact type of game that the Cyclones needed. An easy win, but there were plenty of things that the coaching staff can use to push the players.
It was great to be able to watch the game on Direct tv even here on the west coast, and I don't even have the sports package!
Good game. Defense bent but did not break, but still giving up like 350 yards is not good. Run defense was great though.
Not sure who is the better quarterback. Liked a lot of what I saw with Bates. His ability to run and create something will come in handy during the Big 12 season.
Placekicker looks good. Concerned about kickoffs though. Those need to reach the end zone. Too many good return guys in the Big 12 for them to receive the kick at the 5 or 10 yard line.
Running backs looked pretty good, although I wish ISU would run more to the outside, instead of up the middle most of the time. Sedrick is going to be awesome in time.
All in all, for a first game it was good. They have a lot to work on but have a lot of confidence in this staff. Also, was really good to see so many freshmen contribute. That is a sign of good recruiting I think.
Oh, one final thing. Wish they would put another coat or two of paint on the field logo and end zones. Looked kind of faded. At least on my tv.

What exactly were you hoping for in the first game with so many new guys seeing playing time.
