Arkansas State Red Wolves at Iowa State Cyclones
· NCAA - Football
Rocco Becht has hand in 3 TDs, No. 20 Cyclones run off to a 52-7 win over Arkansas St.
Ninth-year coach Matt Campbell won his 56th game at Iowa State, tying him with Dan McCarney for most in program history.
"Really important still in this world today is team," Campbell said. “This is not about any individual. To be able to be at one place with so many great people for as long as I have, I'm just grateful for that. We have great coaches, great players, obviously great administration at the president's level. That's what has made it a joy to be here."
Becht scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter and his TD passes of 10 yards to Tyler Moore and 16 yards to Jayden Higgins put the Cyclones (3-0) up 31-0 at half.
Hansen, who struggled to find playing time during his freshman year, rushed for 58 yards on nine carries and forced a fumble following an interception thrown by ISU backup quarterback Connor Moberly late in the third quarter.
Hansen scored his first career touchdown on a 1-yard run, and he added a 3-yard TD in the third quarter.
“It’s something you dream of,” Hansen said. “Credit to the offensive line because they blocked great this week.”
The Cyclones rushed for 237 yards and finished with 490 yards of total offense, their most since 2021.
The Cyclones entered the game with a total of 175 yards rushing on 50 carries in their wins against North Dakota and Iowa.
Iowa State held the Red Wolves (2-2) scoreless until late in the fourth quarter and allowed just 182 yards.
Arkansas State quarterback Jaylen Raynor struggled against a ranked opponent for a second straight week. He completed 5 of 16 passes for 68 yards with two interceptions. He threw for 140 yards and was intercepted in last week's loss at Michigan.
“(Raynor) just needs to work on his consistency in performing,” Arkansas State coach Butch Jones said. “He was still a great teammate out there, but I just thought we needed a spark.”
Timmy McClain threw a 27-yard pass to Hunter Summers for the Red Wolves' only score.
Iowa State: The Cyclones finally got their running game going, put up their most points since 2021, and the defense recorded four sacks in a dominating performance.
