Drake Football Flashback - Iowa State - Dec. 1, 2018

AMES, Iowa - The No. 24 Iowa State Cyclones escaped with a 27-24 win over an inspired effort by the Drake University football team in the regular-season finale for both teams at Jack Trice Stadium.

The Bulldogs' hard-fought, gritty effort gave the team a lead late into the third quarter before Iowa State (8-4) rode first-team all-Big 12 running back David Montgomery to the victory with 33 carries for 145 yards and two scores for the back. Iowa State needed every bit of that to hold off the upset bid from a resolved Bulldog squad that was given little chance of being competitive by the pundits and prognosticators.
