Ames, Iowa — Iowa State dropped from 9th to 14th in the AP College football poll following Saturday’s 27-17 loss to Iowa. Cyclone coach Matt Campbell says four turnovers and poor play by the offense were the keys to the loss.
Campbell credited Iowa for playing well — and also took the blame for his team’s performance.
Campbell pulled starting quarterback Brock Purdy with a quarter and a half to go and put in backup Hunter Dekkers.
Campbell says Purdy hasn’t lost his starting job.
Campbell says they didn’t do the things that led to a top ten ranking heading into the game.
Iowa State wide receiver Tarique Milton says the offense did not play well as the defense held them in the game. He says they still have a lot ahead of them despite this loss.
Milton has confidence Purdy will bounce back.
Iowa State is now 1-1 on the season and travels to UNLV Saturday.
