SHREVEPORT, La. - Iowa State returned to its foundation to finally get the Big 12 a victory in the Independence Bowl.
Stevie Hicks and quarterback Bret Meyer each went for more than 100 yards in a revived running game that carried Iowa State to a 17-13 victory over Miami of Ohio on Tuesday night.
After building its program under coach Dan McCarney around running the ball, Iowa State struggled in that area much of the season. But the Cyclones (7-5) piled up 295 yards on the ground - a school record in a bowl - to spoil Terry Hoeppner’s final game as Miami’s coach.
