A strong first half effort from the players and coaches went for naught today, as ISU was outscored 31-0 after the first quarter. The second half was a full display of questionable play calling, regrettable coaching decisions, and poor tackling as the Cyclones never remotely threatened the Horned Frogs after the intermission.
Iowa State came out swinging on their initial drive with a shot downfield to Dondre Daley, but looked to be stalled after some short runs and a false start. However, Rhoads reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out a successful fake punt which lead to a Joshua Thomas touchdown from two yards out.
