Iowa State scored a big win early in the season on Saturday afternoon when it knocked off No. 21 Iowa 20-19 at the home of the Hawkeyes. Cyclones kicker Kyle Konrardy will go down in Cy-Hawk lore with his 54-yard kick that gave his team the lead with just five seconds left in the game. This was the second time in three years that Iowa State defeated Iowa in Iowa City. Cyclones midfielder Rocco Becht, who had an up-and-down game, made several key throws during the sprint to put his team in position to kick the field goal. His 30-yard connection with wide receiver Jaylin Noel, who sprinted down the sideline to advance the ball to Iowa’s 38-yard line, was the biggest throw of the game.

Becht and Noel also connected for a 75-yard touchdown near the end of the third quarter to give the Cyclones the momentum they needed to close out the game. Becht finished with 272 passing yards and two touchdowns after throwing for just 67 yards in the first half. Iowa State’s entire defense also deserved a ball in the game. The Cyclones had two crucial red zone stands in the first half, limiting Iowa scoring and holding the Hawkeyes to just six points in the final six minutes to allow the offense to find its footing and close a 13-0 gap in first half.
