The Cyclones' offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed a total of 476 yards. The passing game was particularly effective, with the quarterback throwing for 301 yards and achieving an impressive completion percentage of approximately 72 percent. This included a standout longest pass play that went for 49 yards and resulted in a touchdown. On the ground, the rushing attack added another dimension to their game plan, tallying up 175 yards which featured a long run that broke free for an impressive 47-yard touchdown.


Special teams also played their part; Iowa State's field goal unit was flawless with three successful attempts out of three, including one from beyond the half-century mark at 51 yards. Additionally, one blocked punt by the Cyclones' special teams unit contributed to setting up favorable field positions.


Defensively, Iowa State proved to be just as dominant. They recorded five sacks and forced three fumbles while recovering two themselves – showcasing their ability to disrupt Texas's offensive rhythm effectively. The defense held strong throughout all four quarters and did not allow any points in either the third or fourth quarter.


Despite six penalties costing them 45 yards throughout the game, it did little to hinder their overall performance or control over possession time which they dominated by maintaining for approximately thirty-five minutes.


Looking ahead after this comprehensive home victory against Texas Longhorns, fans can anticipate watching Iowa State Cyclones take on Texas Tech Red Raiders next week. This upcoming away game is scheduled for November 13th at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock and will be broadcasted on ESPN2 starting at around eight-thirty PM Eastern Time.
