Reporters' Notebooks

Eric Petersen, Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa State will not be selling single-game tickets for the Nebraska game at Ames, meaning many Cornhusker fans will have to purchase a Cyclone season-ticket package in order to gain entrance into the Oct. 18 game. Iowa State used a similar policy last year for its home game against Iowa and it resulted in a team-record sale of 36,610 season tickets.

Scott Dochterman, Cedar Rapids Gazette: Fifteen of the 39 players from Iowa's 2005 and 2006 signing classes have left the program.
