Iowa State Football Post Mortem: Washington State

Iowa State had a lot going for it heading into the Valero Alamo Bowl against Washington State. About as healthy as they’d been all season, playing a “familiar” opposing playstyle (air raid, ‘Big 12’ style of offense), and fans loading the streets. WSU would provide one of the tougher opponents of the year, boasting a 10-2 record (ranked 13th) coming out of the Pac-12. The Cyclones fought for the full 60 minutes, despite going down 14-0 early to the number 1 pass offense in the country. Unfortunately for ISU, one too many mistakes (and one too many official errors) cost the Cyclones dearly, and Campbell and Co.
