Like a lot of games, Iowa State elected to defend first. K-State called a fair catch but muffed it at the 2, since they didn’t catch it that is where they start the game. Due to the horrible field position, the crowd started off more hyped than usual. The defense held K-State to nothing and they had punt out of their own end zone from the 2. This led to great field position as Iowa State started at midfield.
Iowa State moved the ball but the offense stalled and were about to punt on 4th and 8. However, a substitution penalty changed Campbell’s mind and they were stopped on 4th and 3.
