Overview

• Iowa State punched in five short rushing touchdowns, with quarterback Rocco Becht scoring three times on keepers while throwing for 243 yards without a touchdown pass.
• Arizona’s special teams stumbled early with a near-turnover on the opening kickoff and a missed 46-yard field goal after a poor snap; Michael Salgado-Medina is 2-for-6 on attempts of 40 yards or longer this season.
• Noah Fifita finished 32-of-48 for 253 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw two interceptions in his first multi-pick game since last season.
• Total yardage was close at 386-360, yet Iowa State leveraged deep completions and superior field position to turn short fields into points.
• The Wildcats are 3-1 after their first loss of the season and host Oklahoma State on Oct. 3 at noon on TNT, TruTV and HBO Max.
