AUTO GROUP. CONFIDENCE WINS ON THE ROAD. THOSE ARE AS GOOD AS GOLD AND QUITE HONESTLY, JUST AS DIFFICULT TO COME BY. IOWA STATE, WITH ITS FIRST TRUE CONFERENCE ROAD TEST OF THE SEASON AGAINST CINCINNATI, NOTHING SEEMED EASY FOR THE CYCLONES ON THIS AFTERNOON. LOOKING TO GET SIX AND ZERO BACK TO BACK SEASONS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. THEY ENTERED THE GAME AS ONE AND A HALF POINT UNDERDOGS, AND CINCINNATI WAS ROLLING FROM THE WORD GO. THEIR RUSHING OFFENSE WAS FANTASTIC. EVAN PRYOR GASHING THE CYCLONE DEFENSE ON THAT RUN. IT’S SEVEN NOTHING. ROCCO BECKETT WITH THE TEAM DOWN 17. NOTHING GETS THEM IN THE END ZONE FOR THE FIRST TIME. ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THE SECOND QUARTER. IT’S 17 SEVEN. IT WAS 24 TO 7 AT ONE POINT IN THIS GAME. AND IT GOT BAD TO WORSE. THAT’S BRENDAN SORSBY ON FOURTH DOWN 31 SEVEN IOWA STATE THOUGH WITH A CHANCE TO GET A LITTLE MOMENTUM BEFORE THEY HEAD TO THE LOCKERS. AND THEY’RE ABLE TO DO SO, ROCCO MUSCLING HIS WAY TO THE ENDZONE. IT’S 3115 AT THE HALF, SO A LITTLE BIT OF MOMENTUM FOR THE CARDINAL AND GOLD AS WE GET TO THE SECOND HALF. IOWA STATE TRAILED 3122 IN THIS GAME FOR NEARLY 17 MINUTES OF PLAY, AND THEY COULDN’T GET ANY CLOSER. MISSED SOME BIG OPPORTUNITIES. AND FINALLY CINCINNATI TOOK ADVANTAGE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. SORSBY DEEP TO CALEB. GOODIE JAMESON. PATTON COULDN’T CATCH HIM. CINCINNATI GOES ON TO WIN IT 38 TO 30. FANS STORMED THE FIELD AT NIPPERT STADIUM. CYCLONES DROPPING THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR. I JUST DON’T THINK WE WERE READY. THAT’S THAT’S COACHING. THAT’S ON THE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AND WE GOT TO BE BETTER. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I’M DISAPPOINTED OBVIOUSLY IN THE WAY WE. STARTED. I’M REALLY PROUD IN THE WAY WE FINISHED THE FOOTBALL GAME. WE GAVE OURSELVES EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO WIN THE GAME. AND WE JUST WE WE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME PLAYS THAT WE DIDN’T. I DIDN’T THINK OUR DETAIL WAS GREAT TODAY. I KNOW WE’VE SAID THAT THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE COVERED US, THAT WE GOT TO CONTINUE TO BE BETTER AND IT CAUGHT US. IT CAUGHT US AGAINST A REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. AND YOU KNOW, HATS OFF TO THEM AND HATS OFF TO COACH STANTON AND CERTAINLY CINCINNATI. THIS WASN’T IOWA STATE’S DAY. HERE’S SOME OF THE KEY STATS 260 RUSHING YARDS ALLOWED. THAT’S BY FAR MORE THAN THEY’VE ALLOWED THIS ENTIRE SEASON. IN A GAME THEY GAVE UP 216 ALONE IN THE FIRST HALF, WHICH ALSO WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN THEY’VE ALLOWED IN ANY GAME THIS SEASON. EIGHT PENALTIES FOR 60 YARDS. THEY ALSO ALLOWED THREE SACKS ON THE AFTERNOON. IOWA STATE NOW HAS TO GET BACK
