Q: What will the 2026 football team be known for?
The panel predicts a defense-driven identity with a powerful, versatile running game and the potential for multiple offensive weapons to keep defenses off balance, signaling a balance of smash-mouth and gadget plays.
February 27th, 2026: spring training updates, mini Oscars, spelling bee, Rangers season expectations, and Red Raider basketball at Iowa State.
Q: Do you think the Rangers can realistically challenge for the playoffs this year?
They could be in the mix if the pitching staff performs well and the offense rebounds; otherwise, they might hover around .500 with a chance to surprise if investments pay off.

Q: Coach Glasco, after the Friday night loss and the wake-up call you described, how has the team reshape its approach to midweek games and competition for playing time?
Glasco emphasized that every practice is a competition, with players earning their spots through consistent performance; once the lineup is set, changes are rare and driven by earned merit rather than taking turns.
