RECAP

After a scoreless 1st quarter the Hawkeyes were dominated in the 2nd quarter, giving up 2 touchdown passes, after the Cyclones made a quarterback change. Iowa State won going away in the 2nd half as Iowa ran only 2 plays in Cyclone territory after it's first drive of the game. Iowa State fans stormed the field and tore down both goal posts and congratulated the Cyclone players going into the locker room.
