AMES, Iowa — Iowa State football players get a short history lesson almost every day from Matt Campbell. He will say or shout at practice that the 11th-ranked Cyclones have never won an outright major conference championship in the program's 133 years. Senior Jaylin Noel said the reminder inspires him and his teammates to ask why they shouldn't be the first to do it. The Cyclones have won their first five games for the first time since 1980, and a win Saturday at West Virginia would make them 6-0 for the first time since 1938.
