Iowa State wins a close one. I’ve been waiting to write that sentence all year. Connor Assalley, in all of his glory, is the most popular person in Ames, Iowa tonight. Iowa State seemed to have this game won the whole time, but needed the last three seconds to secure a victory. Matt Campbell is the first coach in Iowa State history to beat every single team in the Big 12 conference.
Iowa State’s first drive had great rhythm. The run blocking looked the best it’s been all year. Breece Hall got four carries for 40 yards on the Cyclones’ first drive.
