Iowa State coach Matt Campbell is hardly the only new face in Ames these days.Campbell and his entire staff are just a few days into their first fall camp with the Cyclones, who have just five wins in 24 games -- a stretch that cost popular coach Paul Rhoads his job.The roster has experienced heavy turnover as well, with 41 newcomers attempting to become acclimated to Campbells system in time for the season opener on Sept. 3 against Northern Iowa.Its a little bit of a unique camp. Were still finding each other out, Campbell said Tuesday at the teams annual media day.The biggest thing the Cyclones need to figure out is their offensive line.The Cyclones return just one starter, tackle Jake Campos. Campbell has installed freshman Julian Good-Jones at center, with untested veterans like Jaypee Philbert, Patrick Scoggins and Nick Fett attempting to fill bigger roles.Its unclear exactly what kind of offense Campbell and offensive coordinator Tom Manning plan to run. But it wont matter if the Cyclones dont have a solid line in place in less than a month.It is a big concern because theres guys that havent been in a situation where theres actually video-tape evidence -- and Im such a firm believer in video tape evidence, Campbell said. Show me in a game, in a situation, that you can execute and play with great consistency. And I think thats an area where theres just so much thats unknown.Iowa State has one of the most talented wide receivers in the country in Allen Lazard, though its not clear who will be playing with the talented junior.Trever Ryen, a former track athlete at Northern Iowa, is penciled in as a starter despite the fact that he caught just 11 passes in Big 12 games a year ago. Dondre Daley was fourth on the team with 21 catches in 2015.Beyond those three, Iowa State will need contributions from youngsters like Hakeem Butler, Carson Epps and Darius Lee-Campbell -- a converted quarterback -- if it hopes to keep defenses honest.In the meantime, Lazard will be targeted by quarterback Joel Lanning as much as possible.Allen has got to touch the ball ... weve got to find ways to get the ball into his hands. Weve got to find ways to move him around, Campbell said.The defense is in much better shape heading into fall camp. At least seven starters are back pending the status of defensive back Nigel Tribune, who remains suspended indefinitely after being charged with drunk driving last month.But its also a unit that ranked 97th nationally in scoring defense in 2015 at 32.7 points per game, so theres plenty of work to be done.Given all the uncertainty, Campbell tried to downplay any notion that the excitement his hiring has generated will lead to instantaneous success.My expectations for this team are really simple. Can we get better every day? Campbell said. My challenge is, can we reach our full potential? Thats individually and collectively. Cheap Quenton Nelson Jersey .

Wholesale Colts Jerseys . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.DENVER - The Denver Broncos locked up Peyton Mannings blindside protector Sunday, signing left tackle Ryan Clady to a five-year deal worth up to $57.5 million. The Broncos and Clady have been at odds over a long-term contract for more than a year. Had he not signed by Monday, he would have played under a one-year, $9.823 million deal because of the franchise tag. Instead, Clady has a deal that guarantees him at least $33 million and should keep him in Denver through the end of Mannings playing days. Its a better deal than the one the tackle turned down last season, when the guarantees the Broncos offered came in at about half of what hell make under his new contract. Clady, a first-round draft pick in 2008, is still recovering from surgery to his right shoulder andd is expected to miss the start of training camp, which begins July 25.dddddddddddd. If he returns to full health, it will resolve one of Denvers many issues on the offensive line. Left guard Zane Beadles was the only starting offensive lineman to come out of last season unscathed. Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder), Chris Kuper (ankle) and J.D. Walton (knee) also needed operations, and of the three, only Franklin was at full health during team minicamps this spring. The Broncos signed Dan Koppen to fill in at centre for Walton, who isnt expected back until midseason. Their biggest free-agency signing outside of Wes Welker was right guard Louis Vasquez. If Kuper recovers from his second surgery in as many years, hell likely compete for a backup spot.
