Winning a Big 12 road game against a ranked team as a ranked team should be doable, right?

OSU decided to run the missed field goal play.

A Mike Rose interception, taking a 7-0 lead, AND Brock Purdy running the football??

Fair catch at the 5 yard line?

After a long Breece Hall run, the Cyclones went backwards and missed a field goal.

Oklahoma State very quickly put up 14 points.

And Connor Assalley missed two field goals.

The Iowa State defense was out there trying to tackle Hubbard like:

Both teams started the first half by trading interceptions.

And Breece Hall scored on a 66 yard sprint to stymie OSU’s momentum.

Breece Hall saving the ISU offense from disaster all day like:

We decided not to play defense and let the Cowboys take the lead.

The Cyclone offense in the second half was, well.

Charlie Kolar had a back-breaking drop.

The Cyclone offense would get a late touchdown, but it mattered little.

The ISU offensive line leaving the stadium probably looked something like this.

At the end of the day, though OSU is really good and Iowa State played tough, it was another loss in a key road game.
