Iowa State football earned yet another moral victory, this time keeping it close with 12th-ranked Oklahoma on a beautiful Thursday night in Ames.
The team started off slow, with the Sooners scoring on their very first drive, but the resilience of this team showed glimpses of the future of this program.
A late second-quarter touchdown drive took the air out of the sails, putting the Big 12-leading Sooners on top at half time by a score of 28-17. The second half was a different story though, as the defense rose to the occasion, holding Oklahoma to only 157 yards.
