And the Iowa State Cyclones opened their season up at home today, hosting the North Dakota Fighting Hawks local five sports director Rena Garcia has the highlights and reactions from Ams. It wasn't quite the blowout that many people expected here at Jack Tri Stadium but the Iowa State Cyclones took care of business today against North Dakota in the season opener. The Cyclones celebrating the 50th season at Jack Tri Stadium and boy did this game get off to an electric start first play for Rocco Beck in the offense. He chucks it downfield into double coverage but Jalen Noel somehow manages to come down with it and that's good for a 54 yard game. Next play, Becht going to another dynamic receiver. It's Jaden Higgins who hauls in the TD pass when the Cyclones get on the board 7 to 0 right before the half isu leading 7 to 3. Who else? But Jalen, no, he had eight catches for 135 yards touchdown. Today. The Cyclones go into halftime with a 14 to 3 lead the same score in the fourth Iowa State in the red zone. Rocco Beck takes it himself once the pile clears. The refs confirm the touchdown in Iowa State extends their lead to 18. North Dakota's run game gave Iowa State some trouble today. The fighting Hawks putting up 174 yards on the ground, but the cyclone defense stood firm when it needed to holding them to just three points. Iowa State starts the season off in the win column defeating North Dakota 21 to 3. You look at the statute and you're like, man, you're pretty, pretty solid of what, what just occurred. You know, I thought we played really good football. Um There's some things in the first game, you want to clean up, you know, we want to be a little bit better on third down on the defensive side of the football. We had a couple of penalties in the red zone, um, that maybe prohibited a chance to score. But man, I thought all in all, you know, with the amount of things that kind of were against us a little bit today with some of the injuries, I thought some kids stepped up and played really good football. We gave a little too much and just put ourselves in hard situations on third down. I think we got to play tighter coverage on third down as well. I think, you know, all those things are, you know, things that we can work on and improve on. So I'm going to try to get back to work on those as you heard, there are still some things to clean up the cyclones. But Matt Campbell said in his press conference that he typically sees the most improvement in his team between week one and week two and week two. Of course, being a Cy Hawk week, as Iowa State prepares to go on the road to face Iowa, they're definitely going to need their, a game, Iowa looking pretty good in their season opener, So we will see what that matchup brings. But for now reporting from Jack Tri Stadium, Reina Garcia, local five sports.
