Iowa State Cyclones Storm Boone Pickens Stadium, Outrun Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Iowa State Cyclones improved their record to 8-4 with a decisive 20-13 victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Boone Pickens Stadium. The Cowboys, now standing at 1-11, struggled to contain the Cyclones' dynamic offense and resilient defense.

First Quarter

The game kicked off with the Cyclones setting an early tone. Iowa State's kicker Kyle Konrardy nailed a field goal from 39 yards out, putting the first points on the board. The Pokes were unable to respond in kind during this period, leaving them trailing as they headed into the second quarter.

Second Quarter

Oklahoma State found some rhythm in this quarter, matching Iowa State's touchdown with one of their own. However, it was Abu Sama III who stole the spotlight for ISU with an impressive 40-yard rushing touchdown that showcased his speed and agility. This play not only extended their lead but also highlighted what went wrong for Iowa State Cyclones in previous games—capitalizing on big plays when opportunities arise.

Third Quarter

The third quarter saw another surge from ISU as quarterback Rocco Becht connected with Chase Sowell for a crucial passing touchdown of 16 yards. Caleb Bacon's defensive prowess was evident as he recorded three sacks against Oklahoma’s offensive line, disrupting any momentum they tried to build.

Fourth Quarter

In a tightly contested final period, both teams managed just one field goal each—Konrardy again proving reliable from long range with a successful kick from 45 yards out. Despite Oklahoma’s efforts to claw back into contention through strategic plays and time management adjustments seen in our Iowa State Cyclones vs Oklahoma State Cowboys tactical recap, it was too little too late against an unyielding ISU defense led by Drew Surges’ interception that sealed their fate.
