This ISU team has some guts. Starting their backup QB and RB on the road, in an environment that they haven't been successful at since 1977, and does what it needs to get the victory!
What was that?
0 giveaways, 8 takeaways, the picture above is the story of the game. The game wasn't pretty offensively, but ISU did what they had to do. It would've been easy for this team to mail it in, but they came ready to play, and if you play hard you can win. It's a team sport, and ISU showed that if you have guts and play as a team, you win games. That's football.
Props go to the entire defensive unit, but Jesse Smith, the heart and soul of the team gets the game ball for this one! Tiller deserves some major props as well: no turnovers, managing the game, and picking up first downs when needed. That 4th quarter drive when they ate clock made it happen!
Now with 5 wins on the year, ISU looks to have one foot in a bowl game. Can they compete for the North? Who knows, but it's going to be a fun homestretch!
Enjoy this one Cyclone fans! They did it!

you know
you guys played a great football game. congrats to you.
missing your two best offensive guys – like you said at at the beginning of the game, gave you 0% chance of winning.
But your coaches, your team didn’t see it that way. excellent job of calling plays, great job of killing our offense.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

Much thanks.....
Really excited coming down the stretch.
You guys have one hell of a defense and it’s tough that your offense can’t match that.
sportsmanship

Horrible Game Coverage
ISU lost Benton due to breaking his foot, and we had some sick OL. Never really noticed the substitutions and the announcers said nothing….
Greet The Team!
If you aren’t too far from Ames, make the trip to the Jacobson Building to greet the Cyclones! They should arrive around 7:40, but shoot for getting there at 7:15 or so… http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=204820324&DB_OEM_ID=10700
