Cyclones drop 2OT game at Toledo
September 20th, 2015 by admin
(Toledo) — Iowa State kicker Cole Netten missed a 32-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, and Toledo took advantage of it in beating the Cyclones 30-23 in double overtime.
Brian Peavy’s diving interception with 2:36 remaining in the game gave the Cyclones a perfect chance to win the game, but Mike Warren fumbled it right back to Toledo 86 seconds later at the 15-yard-line.
The two field goal kickers exchanged field goals during the first overtime session, but Toledo punched in a touchdown in the second OT. Iowa State’s last-gasp, fourth-and-goal play on their next possession resulted in nothing when Sam Richardson was sacked by Tre James.
The Cyclones (1-2), who were averaging just 70 yards rushing in their first two games got 126 yards on 21 carries from Warren and had 207 as a team. However, they were penalized 14 times for 113 yards.
