Iowa State at No. 21 in AP Poll after 20-19 win at Iowa

Iowa State is into the AP Poll at number 21 after a furious rally in a 20-19 win at Iowa. The Cyclones trailed 13-0 at halftime and 19-7 in the third quarter before rallying for their second straight victory in Kinnick Stadium. Freshman Kyle Konrardy (KONN-rahr-dee) hit a 54 yard field goal with six seconds remaining to win it.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who was proud of the mental toughness his team showed in rallying for the win.

Iowa State’s defense turned the game around in the opening half by forcing the Hawkeyes to settle for field goals twice inside the five yard line.

Konrardy missed a 41-yard field goal at the end of the opening half before connecting twice in the fourth quarter.

The Cyclones are idle this week and host Arkansas State on the 21st. Iowa dropped out of the AP Poll after a second half collapse that dropped their record to 1-1.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. The offense got smothered with the game on the line and quarterback Cade McNamara was just three of 10 for 19 yards and two interceptions in the second half.

Ferentz said after the game there is no thought of making a change at quarterback.

The Hawkeyes host Troy this week. The Trojans are 0-2 after losses to Nevada and Memphis.
