Today Nolan and I had a fun day filled with tailgating and the ISU football game, where we witnessed the Cyclones defeat the Cincinnati Bearcats, 34-17.
Although the final score was a bit lopsided, Iowa State only had a 3 point lead with about 4 minutes to play, when Rocco Becht collected a high snap and turned a broken play into a 15-yard touchdown run to give the Cyclones a 10 point advantage. My favorite play of the game came in the 3rd quarter, when Stevo Klotz picked up a 1st down on a fake punt. It was 4th down and 9 to go, and Klotz took a direct snap and rumbled 22 yards. With the win, Iowa State improves to 8-2 on the season.
Today's game was Nolan's 12th football game, and it was the 4th time that he has seen ISU defeat a conference opponent. The previous Big 12 victories that he has seen were UCF this year, at Kansas State in 2021, and Texas Tech in 2020. Today's game was a night game, as kickoff was at 7:00. By the time game was over and we were back home, it was almost 11:00... so it was a late night for us!
