In an intense battle on the gridiron, the Iowa State Cyclones showcased their determination despite falling short to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cyclones' offense accumulated a total of 333 yards, with their passing game contributing 274 yards. Quarterback play was pivotal as they completed 28 out of 43 attempts and threw for one touchdown. However, interceptions proved costly for Iowa State as three were thrown during the course of action.


The rushing efforts added another dimension to their offensive scheme but were limited to just 59 yards on 36 attempts, managing only one touchdown and three first downs. The longest run from scrimmage was capped at a modest 20 yards.


Special teams had moments worth noting; although no punts were blocked or returned for touchdowns, seven punts totaled an average of approximately 41 yards each. In terms of kickoffs, there was one touchback among three kickoffs totaling an impressive distance of about two football fields (186 yards).


Defensively speaking, Iowa State secured two interceptions that they returned for a combined total of approximately two first downs (18 yards). They also recorded eight tackles for loss which pushed back their opponents by over four times ten (42) negative yardage and sacked opposing quarterbacks once resulting in lost yardage equivalent to roughly ten plus one (11) yards.


Penalties did not heavily impact either team's rhythm as both sides stayed below double-digit infractions and under one hundred penalty yards assessed against them.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought contest in Stillwater, fans can anticipate another exciting game when Texas Tech Red Raiders visit Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on November twenty at twelve o'clock AM local time. This upcoming event will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports One channel number two hundred nineteen where supporters can tune in to cheer on their beloved Cyclones once more.
