After the long wait of the offseason, I can finally say that it is Cyclone football season again!
Today our family all enjoyed a nice tailgate, just north of the Scheman building. It was a nice but fairly warm day, so we tried to stay in the shade for most of the tailgate.
I took Nolan with me to the game, where we watched Iowa State defeat the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, 21-3. The first two plays of the game were quite exciting. On Iowa State's first offensive play of the day, Rocco Becht connected with Jaylin Noel on a 54 yard bomb into double coverage. Then on the next play Becht found Jayden Higgins for a 21 yard TD. The Iowa State defense did have some troubles getting off of the field on 3rd downs today, and it seems like they have a lot that they need to work on. Our linebacker Caleb Bacon did get injured early in the game, which did not help.
Today was the 10th football game that I have taken Nolan to. He seemed to enjoy the game, and he was continuously asking how many yards each team needed to gain for a first down, so it seems like he is understanding the game better. The previous game that I took Nolan to was last year's UNI game.
