Five Oklahoma State football takeaways after Iowa State overwhelms Cowboys' defense
Oklahoma State fell to Iowa State 51-49 after a series of miscues led the Cowboys to fall to the Cyclones on a walk-off field goal Saturday night.
For the first time since their Big 12 debut, Oklahoma State's offense found themselves in the defender's spotlight on Saturday. The Cyclones overcame a first half struggle to dominate the latter portions of the game, ultimately prevailing 51-49. A misdirection pitch pass to Wyatt Young allowed OSU to tie the game with 53 seconds left, but the celebration was marred by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
An onside kick in the second quarter further tilted the momentum in Iowa State's favor, as the ball was recovered and returned for a touchdown. The Cyclones' defense, on the other hand, struggled in the second half, conceding 27 points to the Cowboys. OSU's defense has been a weakness all season, giving up 27 points in each of their last five Big 12 games.
