Recap

Iowa State struck first with Joel Lanning's 24-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, but Oklahoma State responded quickly with Mason Rudolph finding Marcell Ateman for a 16-yard touchdown to tie it up. The Cyclones built momentum with a Cole Netten field goal and another Lanning-led scoring drive capped by Allen Lazard's 24-yard touchdown reception, giving Iowa State a 17-7 halftime lead. Oklahoma State's defense tightened in the second half, and Mason Rudolph orchestrated two touchdown drives to take the lead, including a 32-yard completion to Ateman that set up a 1-yard J.W. Walsh touchdown. Despite Iowa State's efforts to rally, Oklahoma State's superior third-down conversion rate (11-17 versus 6-13) and extra time of possession proved decisive in holding on for the 35-31 victory and retaining the belt.
