AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kyle Konrardy kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1:52 left to give No. 16 Iowa State a 16-13 win over Iowa on Saturday, the Cyclones' second straight victory against their in-state rival and third in four years.
Konrardy kicked a 54-yarder in the final seconds last year to beat the Hawkeyes 20-19.
“You win football games when your best players make the best plays in key moments,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “When you've got a guy like Kyle, you just trust him.”
His winning kick this time came after Rocco Becht led the Cyclones on a grinding 55-yard drive that chewed 6 1/2 minutes off the clock. Tamatoa McDonough sacked Mark Gronowski twice on Iowa's last possession, with the Hawkeyes (1-1) turning the ball over on downs.
