Iowa State led 17-14 in the fourth quarter and was driving to extended its lead until Malcolm Rodriguez and Jarrick Bernard-Converse stuffed Purdy on a fourth-and-2 run at the Cowboys’ 42.įour plays later, Tay Martin caught a 25-yard touchdown pass to put the Cowboys up 21-17. Sanders went 15 for 24 passing for Oklahoma State, finishing with 225 yards and three touchdowns. Purdy completed 27 of 33 passes, and Hutchinson had a career-best 12 catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. “It wasn’t necessarily why you play the game, but it was (one of) the pros to playing the game.”
“It was super fun,” Cyclone receiver Xavier Hutchinson said of the postgame scene. Purdy kneeled twice in victory formation, and fans stormed the field at Jack Trice Stadium as the clock ran out to celebrate Iowa State’s first win over a top-10 opponent since 2018. “The character of this game is what we’ve talked about,” Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said. The spot of the ball stood after a video review. On fourth-and-2, Spencer Sanders passed to Brennan Presley, but Isheem Young and Kym-Mani King combined to keep Presley inches short with 1:09 left. Oklahoma State’s final possession reached the Iowa State 45.

Will McDonald made back-to-back sacks to snuff the Cowboys’ series that followed Breece Hall’s 4-yard, go-ahead touchdown with 5:29 left. Iowa State’s defense stopped Oklahoma State twice in the final five minutes. “When two football teams go against each other, you’re going to exchange blows.”
“It was a really hard-fought game,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. It was the seventh straight Oklahoma State-Iowa State game decided by seven points or less. Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Baylor are bunched in a three-way tie for second in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma (8-0, 5-0). Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1) saw its eight-game win streak end, and it lost in Ames for the first time since 2011. The Cyclones (5-2, 3-1) won their third straight to improve to 16-2 in October since 2017, and they won their ninth Big 12 home game in a row, the longest streak of its kind in the league.
