Special teams
Texas roots anchor Morton’s intensity By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com
Photo: Adam Ring/Iowa State Daily In his second year as leader of the special teams, senior Matt Morton has used his Texas roots to anchor the team’s energy.
Matt Morton stands at a smaller 6-feet tall. Yet what he lacks in his size compared to some teammates, he makes up for in heart. He wears no armbands or visor; he just wears his black horse collar on his shoulder pads as protection from the violent collisions he encounters on a daily basis. This is the second year that Morton has been the leader of the special teams unit, breaking them down in practice and in games, leading the charge like a soldier into combat on kickoff and punt coverage. But it wasn’t always that way. Morton hails from Henderson, Texas. He played football at Henderson High School until he
transferred to the smaller, 2A West Rusk to play his junior and senior year. Make no mistake, transferring to the smaller 2A school didn’t mean the level of football went down. “Very competitive of course,” Morton said of his competition. “My 2A district was actually voted to be the toughest in the state at the 2A level. It had D-I athletes all over.” Morton played both sides of the ball throughout high school at quarterback and middle linebacker. He excelled at both positions, being named first-team all-district linebacker and second-team all-district quarterback. Late in the recruiting process his senior year, Morton decided to take a look at Iowa State. “I looked at Iowa State because the Big 12 is a very well-known
conference in Texas especially,” Morton said. “I wanted to be able to play at a Division I school in the Big 12 preferably. I came up and talked to [ISU coach Paul Rhoads], and he pretty much told me what I wanted to hear. “He said I could come up here and put pads on and compete for a job and earn a scholarship if I walked on.” Morton decided to take his chances walking on as a Cyclone. He then came to Ames with one mindset. “I came up with one goal in mind: to earn a scholarship and get on the field and play,” Morton said. Morton was able to use his redshirt his freshman year since he didn’t play. He said he then talked to one of the special teams coaches, Shane

Jake Calhoun, sports editor (17-11)
Iowa State — Paul Rhoads is 2–0 against the Red Raiders and third time won’t be a charm for them.
West Virginia — First one to score 70 points and swallow the cinnamon without puking wins.
Michigan State — Gee, Ohio State has sure played a gauntlet so far. This joke would’ve made sense two years ago.
Minnesota — James Vandenberg sleeps with a night-light because he has nightmares about the Golden Gophers.
Nebraska — Bo Pelini will probably be throwing stuff at the refs, Bret Bielema will probably be drunk.
Texas — So much orange, so much twang. The only thing this game needs is Tang, that stuff was the bomb.
Texas A&M — “You’re tacky and I hate you.” — A&M Yell Leaders at Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson.
Dean Berhow-Goll, assistant sports editor (19-9)
Iowa State — Tech is high-powered but hasn’t faced a defense like Iowa State yet.
West Virginia — Over/ under on incompletions for Geno Smith? Probably around five.
Michigan State — Sparty at home sounds like a rebound. Ohio State is a little overrated, too.
Minnesota — Iowa City’s police blotter eclipses that of last Saturday’s after two straight losses.
Nebraska — Montee Ball is banged up. Rex Burkhead is not. Another riveting Big Ten game.
Texas — OK State got Rick Roll’d by Rich Rod two weeks ago. Texas cruises.
Arkansas — I know Arkansas is about as bad as it gets. But Texas A&M is just not good.
Alex Halsted, assistant sports editor (17-11)
Iowa State — Last season Iowa State failed to advance to 4–0 against Texas. This season it seems they’ll be better prepared.
West Virginia — Baylor has never been much for defense, and West Virginia never stops scoring.
Michigan State — The Big Ten has been tough to figure out, but Michigan State has seemed better than the rest so far.
Minnesota — The Gophers will really be hogging that pig trophy if they pull off a third consecutive victory against Iowa.
Nebraska — “Bo Pelini can judge a book by its cover.” #bopelinifunfacts
Texas — I went with the Cowboys to beat Arizona and was badly mistaken. I’ll go with Texas this time.
Texas A&M — Neither is very good, but Arkansas has proven to be much worse. Cheerleaders > Yell Leaders.
Stephen Koengisfeld, sports online editor (19-9)
Iowa State — Even though College GameDay won’t be here, fans are going to “Pack the Jack” for a stadium record.
West Virginia — “The one who scores the most points, wins.” — Kirk Herbstreit, NCAA ‘12.
Ohio State — Urban Meyer wound up in Ohio, still in search of a new Tim Tebow.
Iowa — The Gophers are leading the Big Ten Legends division. That can’t happen.
Nebraska — We’ll see if “Big Red” is really worth the hype this week.
Texas — New camera view from the football this weekend, available only on the Longhorn Network.
Texas A&M — Tyler Wilson blamed his team for the shutout to ‘Bama. Only thing left to blame is a poorly made sandwich.
Guest pick: Kevin Jackson, ISU wrestling coach
Iowa State — 4–0 is calling our name. The team is healthy, the week off has made ‘Clones even hungrier. Go Cyclones!
West Virginia — West Virginia has skills, players off the chart. Baylor has big questions on D.
Michigan State — Must win for Michigan State. Ohio State has not played anyone and has not looked good.
Minnesota — It’s a mustwin for Iowa, but I can’t pick ‘em.
Nebraska — Wisconsin has been suspect all year.
Texas — Texas is on their way onto top-10 ranking.
Texas A&M — If A&M can’t win this game, they are in trouble for the long haul in the SEC.

Quick facts: Texas Tech Tommy Tuberville: head coach Experience: Third year (16-12), 17th overall season (126-72) Bowl record: 7-3 Hometown: Camden, Ark. College: Southern Arkansas (1976) Family: wife Suzanne, sons Thomas and Troy In his first two seasons at the helm of the Red Raiders, Tuberville has led his team into the top-25. That success carried into the postseason during the 2010 season as Texas Tech won the TicketCity Bowl. Prior to arriving at Texas Tech for the 2010 season, Tuberville spent 10 seasons at Auburn and the four seasons prior to that at Ole Miss. While at Auburn, Tuberville led the Tigers to seven consecutive bowl games and 85 wins overall, good for fourth-best in school history. Before becoming a head coach at Ole Miss in 1995, Tuberville was a defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Texas A&M in 1994 and a defensive coach at the University of Miami for

>>MORTON.p2 Burnham, at one point in fall training camp about finding a spot on the depth chart for that upcoming year. “I said: ‘Hey if you would give me a look, I can take a spot,’” Morton said. “I can work into your depth chart on one of your teams. I told them that and they kind of brushed it off like he was any other walk-on guy trying to get on the field.” At the practice after talking to Burnham, Morton said he played “extremely well” by making plays, executing blocks and tackling soundly. Three games into the season, Morton finally made the depth chart and found his way onto the kickoff team against Kansas State, and it all escalated from there. Morton finished his redshirt sophomore season with eight tackles.
Then a year went by, and he made two starts and finished his redshirt sophomore Burham campaign with 19 tackles and a forced fumble. Finally, at the end of fall training camp, Morton believed he was at the point where he was in position to earn a scholarship. He said it was after a practice when ISU coach Paul Rhoads would give away scholarships during training camp. Morton said that at this point they had already given away one or two, so he believed he wouldn’t receive one. “It was at the very end of practice when he called everyone up like he does every day and he went to give his postpractice speech,” Morton said with a big smile. “The very last

thing he said, I forget the exact wording, but he awarded us a scholarship, and everybody was excited about it. He called our names out and said: ‘You’ve got yourself a scholarship.’ “It was the most memorable moment of my Iowa State career.” Last year, his third year on the depth chart and first as a scholarship Division I athlete, Morton earned Iowa State’s Jim Doran Award as the team’s outstanding performer on special teams. He led the team in special teams tackles, forced a fumble and recovered another one.
Matt Morton
Now the defensive tackles coach, Burnham always knew Morton was one of those “special teams kind of guys.” “The guys we’re looking for on special teams, you’ve got to be a little bit nutty, I mean you really do,” Burnham said. “There’s so much space between these collisions and the speed that gets built up; not many guys are going to embrace that process or embrace that role. He’s one of those guys where every time you looked up, you couldn’t help but notice the intensity that he played with.”

Morton roomed with ISU running back Jeff Woody early in his ISU career. Woody, like Burnham, knew Morton was that special type of player who could thrive on special teams with the mentality he possesses. “To be great at special teams, especially kickoff and punt, you have to be a little off-kilter — in a good way,” Woody said. “Why would you ever want to run full speed into someone that’s bigger than you are? He’s intelligent, and he’s got just the right amount of crazy to make him a great special teams player.” Now the idea of Morton being a mere walk-on is an afterthought. Morton went from being one of the “energy guys” to leading every special teams package aside from the field goal unit. Burnham has seen a lot from Morton in his time at Iowa State. He noted a few
plays Morton has made throughout his career that have given him positive memories of coaching. Burnham cited the fumble he was in on at the memorable upset of Nebraska three years ago and specifically described another scene at the 2009 Insight Bowl — Morton was on kickoff coverage at the beginning of the game and was one of the first guys down the field to lay out the Gopher returner. “There’s things I hope that are going to flash across my head on my deathbed,” Burnham said. “I remember against Minnesota in our bowl game on one of our first kickoffs and he set the tone. Coming off the field he was punch-drunk. He didn’t know where he was, but that’s one of those things, as long as I live, plays like that. ... Morton will always be one of those positive memories of coaching. “He’s fearless.”

Editorial
Big 12 play stands tougher than Big Ten We’ve all heard the arguments, we’ve all drawn comparisons, we’ve all emitted an arrogance with them. Cyclone fans will contend that their team has the toughest schedule between it and Iowa, while Hawkeye fans will tout the merits of their conference slate as they puff up their chests in an effort to outdo the other. With all due respect to the confusion their names induce — the Big 12 has 10 teams and the Big Ten has 12 — we’re here to tell you three reasons why the Big 12 is better — and tougher — than the Big Ten. 1. Numbers don’t lie, the Big 12 has been the more dominant conference. Heading into conference play, the Big 12 has seven unbeaten teams (TCU, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, Texas, Texas Tech, West Virginia) this season while the Big
Ten only has three (Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State). Granted, the Big Ten has one more non-conference game since it has two more teams than the Big 12. However, those non-conference games saw 13 losses to teams such as Virginia, Louisiana Tech and Ball State. Through the first four weeks, the Big 12 has a winning percentage of .844 (27-5), while the Big Ten’s is .717 (33-13). The quality of competition also differs between both conferences. From 2008-2011, the Big 12 finished with more 10-win teams than the Big Ten three of the four years — the only exception coming in 2009 when the Big 12 had two (Texas, Nebraska) and the Big Ten had four (Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin). Nebraska has since jumped ship
220 Main
from the Big 12 and joined the Big Ten starting last season, but the 10-team Big 12 still had more 10-win teams than the 12-team Big Ten. The Big 12 has an overall 12-5 record against Big Ten teams since 2008 — including an 8-2 mark in bowl games. If that last fact isn’t enough of an indication of the Big 12’s dominance, then we don’t know what is. 2. In what the Big 12 has lost with the departure of four teams, it has made up for with its two new additions. The Big 12 lost four teams — Nebraska and Colorado in 2010 and Texas A&M and Missouri in 2011 — but is still going strong after adding Texas Christian (TCU) and West Virginia. The Big Ten got Nebraska, which was a big pickup to fill it out to 12
teams. However, while Nebraska has remained consistent, it has not made it to a BCS bowl since 2001 — a 37-14 loss to Miami (Fla.) in the Rose Bowl, which served as the national title game that year. Since that game was played, West Virginia has won three BCS bowls (2005 Sugar Bowl, 2007 Fiesta Bowl, 2011 Orange Bowl) and TCU has won one (2010 Rose Bowl). While the overall reputations of TCU and West Virginia may not stack up against the four national championships that Nebraska has, their recent success makes them viable — maybe even superior — replacements at this time. 3. This season, all 10 Big 12 teams rank in the top 50 toughest schedules while the Big Ten only has six. According to Phil Steele’s
www.amessilversmithing.com
232-0080
strength of schedules for 2012, the Big 12 has six teams in the top 25 toughest schedules while the Big Ten has four — only Michigan (4) is ranked in the top 20. Just above Michigan is Iowa State, which has the third-toughest schedule in the nation. Iowa? Nowhere near the top 50. The combined record from last season for Iowa State’s opponents in 2012 is 95-57 (.625), which outranks Iowa’s opponents’ combined record of 87-68 (.561). Hawkeye fans might have been under the assumption Cyclone fans saw Sept. 8’s Cy-Hawk game as a bowl game. However, the reality is Iowa State has a much tougher schedule that doesn’t include the likes

That, coupled with a disparaged Penn State team that has been ravaged by penalty-free transfers and a four-year bowl ban following NCAA sanctions handed down from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, makes for an even easier slate for the Hawkeyes this season. While Iowa is almost a lock for a bowl game this season — if it can even make it through Big Ten play — Iowa State will have a much tougher road ahead of it just to reach a similar outcome.
