He predicts Cyclones will find out a lot about themselves when when they travel to Arkansas State this Saturday
The Cyclones gave up two lengthy scoring drives to Iowa on Saturday — with each spanning an energy-sapping 16 plays — but slammed the door shut to preserve a 16-13 Cy-Hawk series triumph at a sold-out Jack Trice Stadium.
With tight end Gabe Burkle of Cedar Rapids making the play of the game, Iowa State kept a drive going and vanquished a 6-game home losing streak against their state-rival in another white-knuckler between the two.

Iowa State kicker Kyle Konrardy simply reprised his role as the Cy-Hawk game’s strong-legged marquee star, drilling a 54-yard field goal to beat Iowa for the second year in a row on Saturday before a sellout crowd of 61,500 at Jack Trice Stadium.
The Iowa State Cyclones defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 16-13 in Ames and here’s a dive into the game and series by the numbers.
Here’s what The Gazette thinks Iowa State Cyclones keys to victory against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Cy-Hawk series this Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.
Legendary Cyclone quarterback Brock Purdy never beat Iowa. Becht could improve to 2-1 against the Hawkeyes.
Becht seeks to become ISU’s first quarterback to win two games against the Hawkeyes since the legendary — and stunningly erratic — Steele Jantz accomplished the feat in 2011-12.
Actually, it isn’t an octagon, and both teams will survive. It’s called hyperbole.
“It’s super fun getting out there with three of my best friends out on the field together,” said Burkle, who hopes to help ISU (2-0) beat Cy-Hawk series rival Iowa (1-0) at 11 a.m. Saturday (Fox) at Jack Trice Stadium.
