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.
In a 51-49 loss to Iowa State, Oklahoma State's offense struggled to contain the Cyclones' defense throughout the second half. OSU tied the game with 53 seconds left on a misdirection pass to Wyatt Young, but received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the kickoff that followed. Iowa State's special teams proved crucial, recovering an onside kick and using it to set up a game-winning 34-yard field goal.
The Cyclones amassed 581 total yards, passing for 309 and rushing for 272, while OSU only managed 217. Quarterback Caleb Hawkins shined with 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with six receptions for 81 yards and a score. Five of OSU's seven losses this season have seen them trailing at halftime.
