AMES, Iowa – Iowa State held a lead until No. 5 Oklahoma State's Jeff Carr pulled in a pass from J.W. Walsh with 3:06 remaining to put the Cowboys in front for the first time on their way to a 35-31 win Saturday night at Jack Trice Stadium. With the loss, Iowa State falls to 3-7 overall and 2-5 in Big 12 play. Oklahoma State remains unbeaten at 10-0 overall and 7-0 in league action.
The Cyclones got on the board early with Joel Lanning bolting into the end zone on a 24-yard scamper on the opening drive of the game to go up 7-0. After OSU responded on its drive, the Cyclones scored on their next three possessions to go in front 24-7 with 9:29 left in the first half. ISU sandwiched a Cole Netten field goal with touchdowns by Allen Lazard and Joshua Thomas.
OSU scored a huge touchdown near the end of the first half as Chris Carson scored on a one-yard plunge to trim ISU's halftime lead to 10 points at 24-14.
The Cowboys came out and scored on the first possession of the second half, but ISU again responded, this time with Lanning's second rushing touchdown of the game.
That would be all the scoring for the Cyclones as J.W. Walsh scored on a 16-yard run with 11:33 left and ISU couldn't hold the lead with Carr catching the winning touchdown.
