In Ames #19 Iowa took on Iowa State for the Cy-Hawk trophy. Iowa started up the game with a long, 15 play drive that ended with a field goal. Iowa State responded with a little trickeration, with a double pass from La’Michael Petteway to Deshaunte Jones for the games first touchdown. Shortly after the game was stopped in its first lightning delay. The delay lasted about 50 minutes. Play resumed for a short bit before another delay came, this one close to 2 hours in length. When play resumed again, both teams defenses looked very impressive, the only score a 40 yard field goal from Keith Duncan as time expired in the first half, making the halftime score 7-6 in favor of the Cyclones. Due to the delays halftime was shortened, and it didn’t take long for the Cyclones to find the endzone again. On the second play from scrimmage out of halftime, Brock Purdy found Tarique Milton for a 73 yard TD throw to make it 14-3 Iowa State. Iowa responded with yet another long drive but once again only was able to get a field goal out of it. Their defense gave them a boost with a quick 3 and out. Iowa State backed up into their own endzone got only a 34 yard punt, giving the Hawkeyes great field position. QB Nate Stanley then lead a masterful drive from Iowa State territory, in which he capped off with a 1 yard TD plunge to give the Hawkeyes their first lead of the game. Iowa failed a 2 point conversion, making the score 15-14 Iowa. Iowa State took back the lead with a field goal, which the Hawkeyes responded with a field goal of there own 18-17. Iowa State then had a potential go ahead TD drive going until a false start set back the drive and the Hawkeye defense stiffened, forcing a turnover on downs. Iowa failed to do anything with their potential game sealing drive and was forced to punt. On the ensuing punt, Iowa State’s jammer ran into the returner as he tried to field the ball resulting in a fumble which the Hawkeyes recovered. A couple of kneels and the game was over. Final score: #19 Iowa 18, Iowa State 17.
The game in total took about 6 hours to complete. Iowa State loses its 5th straight game against the Hawkeyes.
