AMES, Iowa -- Even as the losses mount at Iowa State, Allen Lazards numbers keep climbing.The junior wide receiver was the No. 1 recruit during the seven-year tenure of former coach Paul Rhoads, and hes living up to the billing for first-year coach Matt Campbell.The Cyclones might be 1-8, but its certainly not because Lazard has failed at his job.If you came to practice and watched the last three weeks of practice -- Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday -- Allen is as locked in as anybody on our football team, Campbell said Monday. Thats what I want for Allen because in my humble opinion, I think Allen has a chance to be one of the best players in college football.Lazard is entirely comfortable hearing that from his coach because the standout from suburban Des Moines wants the same thing.I think very highly of myself, he said. I think I still have a lot of room to grow. I havent reached my full potential this year, I dont think, but I think I can do a lot of special things out there.He already has.Lazard leads the team in receiving (48 catches), yards (658) and touchdown catches (five) and is steadily climbing the schools career records list. He has caught a pass in all 32 games he has played and now ranks fifth in career receptions (145) and TD catches (14) and third in receiving yards (2,059).If he stays another year -- and he says he will -- Lazard almost assuredly would pass Todd Blythe (176) as the career receptions leader and would have a shot at Blythes 3,096 receiving yards. Blythes 31 career TD receptions would be out of reach without a monster, injury-free senior season, but who knows?He keeps getting better separation from defensive backs. At 6-feet-5 and 223 pounds, he has always been an enticing target.Hes one of those guys that in any situation, you can throw him the ball, quarterback Joel Lanning said. If hes double-covered or whatever, if you just give him a chance to catch it, hes more than likely going to catch it. Hes one of those guys that just wants the ball all the time.A toe injury slowed Lazard at midseason and his performance suffered. He couldnt plant and drive off on that foot and during one three-game stretch, he managed only nine catches for 88 yards. His longest play in that time covered a mere 17 yards.It was hard just because I would sit there during practice and watch my teammates, he said. Thats probably the hardest part, knowing you cant go out there and practice because you physically cant. Then have to try to turn it on on Saturday and youre not really in shape at all and you really havent gotten the reps and the timing down. It really hurts you in that aspect.Then the injury healed and his production took off. His numbers for the last four games: 27 catches, 330 yards, three touchdowns.All of a sudden he gets a chance to catch his breath and get healthy, Campbell said. I think youre starting to see the byproduct. In critical situations, hes making those plays.Lazard has thrived despite working with a revolving door of quarterbacks. He has caught passes from four different quarterbacks in less than three full seasons and even hauled in a touchdown pass from a wide receiver on a trick play.They were all right-handed, so that helps, he said. Its not a different spin. I had a left-handed quarterback in high school. For the most part, its not really different, just the trajectory of the ball is a little bit different, especially on deep balls. The deep balls different just because some throw it flatter and harder and some just kind of throw it up there. Its something youve got to get used to, I guess.It would seem that he has adjusted quite well.

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. MELBOURNE, Australia -- Tim Cahill has been ruled out of Australias squad for the Nov. 15 World Cup qualifier in Thailand because of soreness that sidelined him for a domestic game on the weekend.The absence of Australias leading and most reliable scorer depletes the experience in the 23-man squad, leaving skipper Mile Jedinak (67), Mark Milligan (52) and Robbie Kruse (47) as the only players with more than 36 international caps.Brisbane Roar striker Jamie Maclaren has been called up to take Cahills place in one of four changes to the squad which had draws at home against Japan and away against Saudi Arabia last month.Cahill, who moved back to Australia this season after spending his entire career playing abroad, missed Melbourne Citys match against Adelaide United with unspecified soreness.Tim has been left out primarily because we have a 10-day lead-in, which is very rare, and I want to be able to put the squad through a lot of work, Australia coach Ang Postecoglou said. He has done a lot of travel for club and country, and I have decided it is bettter he remains in Melbourne where he is being managed well to ensure he is back on the park as soon as possible and ready for us down the track.ddddddddddddThe Australia squad will start arriving in Bangkok on Sunday for the match that will be the halfway point in the last round of Asian qualifying for Russia 2018.The unbeaten Socceroos are in second place on eight points in Group B, two points behind Saudi Arabia. Thailand is winless from four games in the six-team group. Only the top two teams in each of the Asian qualifying groups get an automatic spot at the World Cup.---Australia squad: Nathan Burns, Milos Degenek, Adam Federici, Alex Gersbach, Craig Goodwin, Jackson Irvine, Mile Jedinak, James Jeggo, Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse, Mitchell Langerak, Mathew Leckie, Massimo Luongo, Jamie Maclaren, Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Josh Risdon, Tommy Rogic, Mathew Ryan, Trent Sainsbury, Brad Smith, Matthew Spiranovic, Bailey Wright.
