Cyclone QB had his best game of the season in with over Kansas
The Cyclones’ offense rolled all day, scoring on five of its first six possessions, and totaling 30 or more points in a game for the fourth time this season.
Iowa State went from 5-0 to 5-4 this season seemingly in the blink of an eye, and banged-up but unbowed quarterback Rocco Becht stood tall amid that maelstrom as his team’s fortunes rose and fell.
So when that siren is cranked during Saturday’s game, Domonique Orange and his fellow seniors will smile.
It’s obviously been a tough season for the Cyclones (6-4, 3-4), but if they win out, they still could become just the third team in program history to notch nine or more wins.
What happens when a football team can’t sustain a drive, or fails to finish one with a touchdown? It punts or settles for a field goal attempt.
Daniels needed just 12 completions to throw for 295 yards in Kansas’s 45-36 win over the Cyclones last season in Lawrence, so he’ll likely test ISU’s injury-plagued secondary yet again in his fourth career start against Campbell’s team.

ISU (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) snapped a mistake-filled four-game losing streak, erased an 11-point early-fourth quarter deficit, and finally because bowl eligible for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.
ISU football coach Matt Campbell said it’s too soon to talk about when Brahmer may return to the playing field after the frightening incident.
The Cyclones have played with plenty of the former, but far less of the latter during their four-game slide, and must find a way to have fun on the field again as they seek to secure bowl eligibility for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.
Iowa State is running the football better than it has since the 2021 season. Why isn’t that success on the ground producing more wins?
