WAIT. IOWA STATE PLAYED IN THE FIESTA BOWL?

AND THE BOWL GAME WAS JANUARY???

Did anyone else feel like they were dreaming upon seeing Iowa State run out onto a field that said Fiesta Bowl on it?

Opening the game with a 15 play touchdown drive was borderline erotic.

And then Oregon came back and scored quicker than Johnny Manziel at an Arizona State frat party.

But back came the Cyclones with a 14 play touchdown drive.

Getting 0 points after an Oregon fumble deep in their own territory was certainly not ideal.

A chance to go up 21-7 quickly turned into a tie game thanks to a 4th down stop and quick scoring drive for the Ducks.

Brock Purdy shaking off a hit to the head with a deep throw on the very next play was frickin’ awesome.

I’m pretty sure Brock’s pump fake is illegal in 6 states.

And then Drake Nettles dropped an absolutely stupendous chip shot of a kick.

Will McDonald either gets a sack or gets held on every single play.

Special teams produced another big play to open the second half.

And the Ass Man made two second half field goals.

The defense in the second half clamped down the Oregon offense.

Despite the dominating second half, I’m sure there were still some worried fans out there.

Mike Rose sealed the game the only way he knows how - with a late interception.

Breece Hall sliding into the Heisman conversation next year like:

Seeing Brock Purdy on stage as the offensive MVP was special.

Matt Campbell’s speech got us all fired up too.

Matt Campbell has as many NY6 wins in 5 seasons as another in-state coach has over 22 seasons.

Live it up, Cyclone Nation. We are Fiesta Bowl champions.
