    The Cyclones are looking for their first win over the Sooners since 1990 (33-31, in Norman). ISUs last win over the Sooners in Ames was on Nov. 5, 1960 (10-6).

    ISUs first seven opponents have a combined 38-15 overall mark, one of the highest opponent winning percentages (71.7 pct.) in FBS. The Cyclones have faced three ranked teams (Kansas State, 6-1; Baylor, 6-1; Oklahoma State, 5-3). The latest Sagarin ratings lists ISUs schedule as the fifth-toughest in the nation.

  • iOwA stAte vs. RANked OppONeNts Oklahoma will be Iowa States fourth ranked opponent of the season. Iowa State is 17-173-2 all-time vs. ranked opponents. ISU has lost 10-straight games vs. ranked opponents. Its last win over a rated foe was a 37-23 win

    at No. 15 TCU on October 6, 2012.

    ISUs last win over a ranked opponent at home was on Nov. 18, 2011 in a 37-31 double overtime victory vs. No. 2 Oklahoma State.

    ISU head coach Paul Rhoads is 4-22 vs. ranked opponents in his tenure as the Cyclone head coach. Rhoads owns 23.5 percent of ISUs career wins over ranked opponents.

    iOwA stAte-OklAhOmA quick fActs Oklahoma leads the all-time series vs. Iowa State at 71-5-2. The Sooners are 34-2-1 vs. the Cyclones in games played in Ames. ISUs last win in the series

    was in Norman when the Cyclones defeated the Sooners, 33-31 in 1990.

    OU has won 15-straight games in the series and 21-straight in Ames. ISUs last win over OU in Ames was on Nov. 5, 1960 (10-6). ISU starting center Tom Farniok will face his brother, Derek, who is a junior OL for the Sooners. A pair of OU assistants, Jay Norvell and Jay Boulware, spent time as assistants at ISU. Norvell

    was an assistant, along with current ISU head coach Paul Rhoads, with the Cyclones from 1995-97. Boulware was on ISUs staff from 2007-08.

    ISU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino was on OU head coach Bob Stoops initial coaching staffs at OU from 1999-2001.

    ISU offensive line coach Brandon Blaney was on Stoops OU staff from 1999-2000.

    texAs RecAp Iowa State recorded season highs in points (45), total offense (524) and rushing yards (179), but fell

    just short in a thrilling 48-45 loss at Texas on Oct. 18.

    The Cyclones fell down 14-0 early, but rallied to score 21 unanswered points and went into the break tied at 28-28.

    It appeared UT had the game under control with a 38-31 lead midway through the fourth quarter, but the Cyclones struck twice with two long scoring drives, including a TD with 0:28 seconds left to knot the score at 45-45. UT, however, completed two big passes to set up a Nick Rose FG in the closing seconds.

    There were plenty of heroes on offense for ISU, as the Cyclones ran 93 offensive plays - the most since Baylor in 2012 - and produced the most points ever against a Charlie Strong-coached team.

    ISUs 45 points was the third-most by a Cyclone team vs. a Big 12 opponent (non-overtime game) in the Paul Rhoads era: 52 vs. Texas Tech (2010), 51 vs. Kansas (2012), 45 vs. Texas (2014).

    QB Sam Richardson continued his torrid pace, throwing for over 300 yards (345) for the second-straight game and completing 36 passes, one shy of the school mark of 37 he set the week before vs. Toledo. He is one of just three Cyclones in school history with back-to-back 300-yard passing games (Austen Arnaud, 2008; Grant Rohach, 2013).

    Richardson also tossed three TD passes and ran for another, becoming just the second Cyclone in school history to record multiple TD passes in five-straight games (David Archer, 1983).

    TE E.J. Bibbs was named CFPA TE Performer of the Week with his 10-catch, 73-yard and 2-TD performance. He became the first Cyclone to register 10 catches in a game since Collin Franklin did it in 2010 vs. Colorado. Bibbs has caught a pass in 19-straight games, tying for the sixth-longest streak in school history.

    Richardson also connected with DVario Montgomery, who had nine catches for 100 yards, and Allen Lazard, who had 8 catches for 88 yards and a TD.

    Montgomery was the first Cyclone to go over 100 yards receiving since Quenton Bundrage had 137 vs. Texas last year. Lazard now leads the team in receiving yards (392), the third-best total among Cyclone freshmen in school history.

    The Cyclone ground game also got a jolt from senior RB Aaron Wimberly, who rushed for a season-high 110 yards on just 14 carries (7.9 ypr). It was Wimberlys third 100-yard rushing game of his career and the first by a Cyclone since Wimberly ran for 117 yards vs. Texas last year.

    Jevohn Miller picked up ISUs first defensive TD since 2012 when he ran back a fumble 51 yards for a TD. It was ISUs first fumble return for a TD since Steve Paris did it vs. Colorado in 2005.

    Nigel Tribune picked up his second interception of the season and T.J. Mutcherson tied a career high with nine tackles and forced a fumble.

    if yOu build it, they will cOme Paul Rhoads has built the Iowa State football program into a consistent player on the collegiate

    football scene with three bowl bids in the last five years.

    The Iowa State fanbase has paid attention. Thanks to the recent success and Rhoads enormous popularity, the Cyclones are shattering all attendance records.

    Over 50,000 people have attended a game in Jack Trice Stadium for a school-record 23-straight games.

    Thanks to Rhoads, eight of the top-10 most attended games in school history have occurred in the last two seasons, including three sellouts in 2013 (UNI, Iowa, Oklahoma State).

    ISUs top-three single-season attendance figures occurred in the last three seasons. ISU broke its season attendance record in 2013 at 55,361. ISU sold out its first two home games (North Dakota State, Kansas State), as the Cyclones have

    five sellouts at home in their last nine games.

    The 2014 capacity of Jack Trice Stadium is 54,800 because of construction in the south end zone.

    the cyclONe defeNse Against Iowa, the Cyclones posted its top defensive effort of the season, holding the Hawkeyes to

    275 yards of total offense, Iowas lowest output in the series since 2008 and the lowest total the Cyclone defense has allowed since Sept. 15, 2012 (178 yards) vs. Western Illinois.

    The ISU defense held Iowa to just 102 yards in the second half. Against Oklahoma State, the Cyclones had held the high-octane Cowboy offense to just six first-half

    points until a goal-line stand on the final play of the half was overturned.

    Oklahoma State had 400 yards of total offense, their second-lowest total of the season. With 11 sacks through seven games, the Cyclones are on pace to have their best sack total in years.

    Here is a look at ISUs sack totals in the Rhoads era: 2014, 11; 2013, 15; 2012, 15; 2011, 17; 2010, 11; 2009, 16.

    ISU has a +2 turnover differential in its last five games, forcing seven turnovers during that span. ISU has five interceptions in its last five games. DC Wally Burnhams units have forced at least 20+ turnovers in his first five seasons.

    OffeNse fiNdiNg Rhythm The Cyclone offense has improved in each game this season, including producing record-setting

    numbers in the last two games.

    Under new OC Mark Mangino, the Cyclones have increased their offensive total in virtually every game in total yardage: 253 (NDSU), 319 (KSU), 337 (Iowa), 339 (Baylor), 322 (OSU), 454 (Toledo) and 524 (Texas).

    In its last two games, the Cyclones are averaging 41.0 points and 489.0 yards of total offense. The Cyclones 82 points combined in the last two games is the most by a Cyclone team in back-to-back non-overtime games since 2008.

    Against Texas, the Cyclones scored 45 points, the most points ever given up by a Charlie Strong-coached team, and the third-most scored by a Cyclone team vs. a Big 12 opponent in the Rhoads era (non-overtime games). ISU also had season-highs in total offense (524) and rushing yards (179) vs. the Longhorns.

    In the last six quarters, Iowa State has scored 73 points and recorded 798 yards of total offense. Against Toledo, Sam Richardson completed a school-record 37 passes. Four different receivers had

    five or more catches in the game.

    In the Iowa game, the Cyclones scored on their final two drives (9-plays, 92 yards, TD; 11-plays, 51 yards, FG with 0:02) to post a come-from-behind win on the road.

    Mangino continues to implement his spread the wealth style of offense. Five different Cyclones have 19 or more catches on the season. 15 Cyclones have caught a pass this season.

    In the red zone, the Cyclones are 24-of-25 (96.0 percent) with 18 TDs this season, ranking third nationally and first in the Big 12.

    ISU is 15th nationally in 3rd down conversions this season at 47.7 percent. 15 of ISUs 23 offensive TDs this season were attributed to scoring drives of 75 yards or longer. ISU failed to score a point in the second half in its first two games, but have tallied 97 points after

    intermission in its last five games, averaging 19.4 second-half points during that span.

    Of the 15 Cyclones who notched their first career starts, five are freshmen: Lazard, Campos, Cotton-Moya, Meeks and Wesley.

    Nine Cyclone freshmen have seen significant playing time this season. Five on defense: Kamari Cotton-Moya (DB), Robby Garcia (DL), Alton Meeks (LB), Vernell Trent (DL) and Kamari Syrie (DB). Four on offense: Allen Lazard (WR), Jake Campos (OL), Martinez Syria (RB) and Jauan Wesley (WR).

    Four true freshmen have played in a game this season: Colin Downing (P), Allen Lazard (WR), Jauan Wesley (WR) and Martinez Syria (RB), the most for the Cyclones since 2009.

    JARvis west hAd cAReeR dAy vs. kANsAs stAte Jarvis West had one of the greatest opening periods in ISU history vs. Kansas State when he

    caught a 17-yard TD pass, returned a punt 82 yards for a TD and threw a 29-yard TD pass in the first half.

    West was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, Hornung Award Honor Roll and CFPA Punt Returner of the Week after his performance vs. Kansas State.

    He became just the third player in FBS or FCS to achieve the feat since 1998. He also became just the fourth player in ISU history to record a kickoff return and punt return for a

    TD in school history: Dick Howard, Don Ferguson and Tom Vaughn. Vaughn was the last Cyclone to do it in 1963.

    Overall, West has been responsible for a TD in five different combinations in his career: TD rush, TD

    catch, TD pass, TD punt return, TD kickoff return, the only current player in the nation to claim this.

    AlleN lAzARd Off tO A gReAt stARt True freshman WR Allen Lazard is having a fantastic start to his Cyclone career. Lazard was inserted into a starting role after the untimely loss to ISUs top returning receiver

    Quenton Bundrage, who tore his ACL in the season-opener vs. North Dakota State.

    Lazard has 29 catches for a team-high 392 yards receiving, which already ranks third all-time among Cyclone rookie receivers in both categories.

    His 392 receiving yards leads the team and ranks ninth nationally among rookie receivers. Hes caught a pass in all seven games. Had a breakout game vs. Toledo, setting career highs in catches (8) and receiving yards (96), and

    then followed it up with an 8-catch, 88-yard performance at Texas.

    Averaging 8.0 catches, 92.0 yards and has two TDs in his last two games.

    sAm RichARdsON iN cONtROl Of OffeNse Junior QB Sam Richardson claimed the role of signal-caller of the Iowa State offense in fall camp

    and is producing one of the best seasons ever by a Cyclone QB.

    Richardsons last two games rank as one of the best back-to-back performances by a Cyclone QB in school history, recording the top-two completion marks in the history of Cyclone football: Toledo (37), Texas (36).

    Richardson has back-to-back 300-yard passing games (Toledo, 351; Texas, 345), only the third player in school history to achieve the feat. He is averaging 36.5 completions, 348.0 yards and 3.0 touchdowns in the last two games, completing 67.6 percent of his passes (73-108).

    Richardson has multiple TD passes in five-straight games, joining former NFL QB David Archer as the only two Cyclones to achieve the feat.

    He is completing 61.1 percent of his passes this season (173-283) and leads the team in rushing with 319 yards, one of eight QBs in FBS to lead his team in rushing and passing.

    He currently ranks 11th nationally and third in the Big 12 in completions per game (24.7). After intermission, Richardson is completing 66.7 percent of his passes (94-of-141), tossing 10 of

    his 13 TD passes.

    Against Iowa, Richardson was 25-of-36 for 255 yards and 2 TDs, including completing 17-of-21 passes in the second half to help ISU overcome an 11-point halftime deficit.

    Against Baylor, Richardson ran for a team-season-high 99 yards. His 47-yard TD run is the longest

  • Iowa State Football Bowl Berths: 1971, 1972, 1977, 1978, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012

    rush of the season for the Cyclones.

    Against Toledo, Richardson broke the school-record for completions in a game (37), establishing career bests in completions, passing yardage (351) and total offense (382). He completed 21-of-27 second half passes to help the Cyclones overcome a halftime deficit.

    Richardson completed a career-best 14-straight passes vs. Kansas State. Richardson ranks in Iowa States SEASON top-10 in the following categories: 6. Completion Pct.

    (61.1), 10. Completions (173), 13. Passing Touchdowns (13).

    fARNiOk is the seAsONed veteRAN Senior co-captain Tom Farniok is the seasoned veteran of the Cyclones, registering a team-high 42

    starts, which ranks third among active Big 12 players.

    Farniok, a two-time HM All-Big 12 selection at center, is on both the Rimington Award and the Weurffel Trophy watch lists.

    Along with senior RT Jacob Gannon, Farniok is one of two Cyclones on the team to start at least one game in the last four seasons.

    A native of Sioux Falls, S.D., Farniok calls the shots at the line scrimmage and his leadership has been instrumental in the success of the Cyclone offense.

    Farniok was injured in the second quarter of the North Dakota State game and did not play the rest of the game, as the Cyclone offense sputtered in the second half.

    Farniok went 3-0 against intrastate rival in his four years as a Cyclone. He was injured in ISUs loss to Iowa in 2013 and did not play in the game.

    Farniok spent the summer as an assistant strength and conditioning coach working with the Iowa State mens basketball team. He wants to be a strength and conditioning coach when his football career is over.

    mORRissey ANd milleR leAdiNg the defeNse Seniors Cory Morrissey and Jevohn Miller are the leaders of the Iowa State defense in 2014. DE Morrissey is off to a fantastic start to his final year as a Cyclone, leading the team in tackles for loss

    (6.5) and sacks (5.0). Morrissey needs one more sack to crack ISUs single-season top-10.

    Morrissey was named the Big 12s Defensive Player of the Week after his performance vs. Iowa when he registered career highs in tackles (7), TFL (3.0) and sacks (2.0) against All-American Iowa LT Brandon Scherff.

    Morrissey is fourth in the Big 12 and 32nd nationally in sacks (5.0). Morrisseys is ISUs active career leader in sacks (7.0) and TFL (15.0). LB Miller is third in the Big 12 and ranks 24th nationally in tackles per game at 9.7. Miller moved to Mike linebacker after the season-opener vs. North Dakota State and it has paid

    dividends for the Cyclone defense.

    Miller has led the Cyclones in tackles in four of seven games, including a career-high 17 stops vs. Baylor. He tallied his first career sack vs. Oklahoma State.

    Against Texas, Miller returned a fumble 51 yards for a TD, ISUs first fumble return for a TD since 2005 and the first defensive TD since 2012.

    Miller has totaled nine or more tackles in five of seven games. Miller is ISUs active career leader in tackles (136).

    big plAy bibbs is ONe Of the NAtiONs best tight eNds Senior TE E.J. Bibbs is one of the nations best tight ends, and his play recently is proving this. A preseason All-Big 12 First-Team choice and Mackey Award Watch List member, Bibbs is coming around to All-America form after starting slow because

    of knee surgery during fall camp.

    In the last three games, Bibbs stats are astounding, recording 21 receptions, 175 yards receiving and 5 TDs. Bibbs was named the CFPA TE Performer of the Week in two of the last three weeks hes played. Hes accounted for 5 of ISUs 9 offensive TDs in the last three weeks, all in the red zone.

    Bibbs leads the team in receptions (32) and TDs (6), leading all power 5 conference tight ends in both categories. His 32 catches ties for fifth on ISUs season chart for TEs.

    Bibbs has caught a pass in all 19 games of his career, including multiple catches in 18 of 19 career games. His 19-game streak of catching a pass is the best streak established by an ISU TE and ties for sixth overall in school history.

    His 71 career catches ranks fourth all-time among ISU tight ends and his 725 yards receiving is the fourth-best total ever by an ISU tight end. Against Oklahoma State, Bibbs registered season highs in catches (6) and receiving yards (69), and caught a career-high two TD passes. He earned CFPA

    Tight End Performer of the Week for his efforts.

    Against Texas, he was named CFPA Tight End Performer of the Week after a 10-catch, 73-yard and 2-TD performance. His 10 catches was the most by a Cyclone since Collin Franklin caught 10 passes vs. Colorado in 2010.

    Bibbs was an All-Big 12 Second-Team selection in 2013 after catching 39 passes for 462 yards. His 39 catches a year ago was the second-highest season total by an ISU tight end.

    2014 cAptAiNs The Iowa State players voted on their captains and this year three players emerged as co-captains for the 2014 season. All three are seniors: E.J. Bibbs (TE), Tom Farniok (OL) and Cory Morrissey (DE). The three captains all earned All-Big 12 recognition last season and are on various national award watch lists.

    RemembeRiNg cuRtis bRAy Curtis Bray, who was on head coach Paul Rhoads Iowa State staff the last five seasons, passed away suddenly from a pulmonary embolism in January

    at the age of 43.

    Bray was ISUs defensive end coach from 2009-13, tutoring multiple defensive ends to All-Big 12 recognition. Iowa State will honor Brays legacy by adorning a patch on their helmets of his initials CB throughout the entire season. ISU DE Cory Morrissey, who earned All-Big 12 honors in 2013 under Brays leadership, changed his uniform number to 58 in honor of Bray, who wore the

    same number in his outstanding career at Pittsburgh.

    deAliNg with iNJuRies Iowa State has already lost seven significant contributors to season-ending injuries this season. Quenton Bundrage, ISUs leading receiver in 2013 (48 catches, 676 yards, 9 TDs), had his junior season ended on the fourth play of the 2014 season

    when he tore his ACL vs. North Dakota State in the season-opener.

    Ben Loth, ISUs backup center, went down with a knee injury on the first day of fall camp. Special teams dynamo Levi Peters ruptured his achilles vs. Kansas State. WR P.J. Harris, who had nine catches in the first three games, had his season ended with a knee injury vs. Iowa, along with backup offensive lineman

    Jacob Dunning.

    WR Brett Medders suffered a season-ending injury in practice prior to the Baylor game. Junior OL Brock Dagel, who had started 15 consecutive games, had his season shelved after the Oklahoma State game. Career starts of the injured Cyclones: Bundrage (18), Dagel (15), Loth (2), Dunning (1), Medders (1), Harris (1) and Peters (0).
