October remains undefeated. To find the last loss by the Cyclones in the month October you’d have to go all the way back to 2016, when I was a senior in high school. Iowa State came out hot, and was able to put up numbers against one of the best defenses in the Big 12. Minus a second half TCU offensive explosion, Iowa State dominated start to finish.
The Cyclones were able to get the ball rolling early with some big plays from DeShaunte Jones. Brock Purdy would take off on a 44 yard keeper off a read option being caught just short of the goal line.
