Rocco Becht, No. 9 Iowa State stage comeback win vs. UCF

Rocco Becht led No. 9 Iowa State, which trailed by 14 points in the third quarter, on a game-winning drive in the final two minutes of Saturday's Big 12 home game against UCF, a thrilling 38-35 Cyclones win. The sophomore quarterback led the Cyclones (7-0, 4-0) on an 11-play, 80-yard drive where Becht either threw or ran it himself on every play. It ended with Becht going straight at the goal line for a 1-yard rushing touchdown and a follow-up two-point quarterback draw to grab the lead with 30 seconds left. UCF (3-4, 1-3) had one final possession to try and either tie or go ahead, but the drive ended prematurely with Jacurri Brown throwing an interception to Jontez Williams.
