With 6:18 left in the game, Iowa State’s defense forced a 3-and-out and on third down, Mike Rose and Will McDonald combined for a sack of Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler.
“I give a lot of credit to coach Heacock,” Campbell said. “He was able to create pressure in the second half with some great schematic changes we were able to make in the second half. Mike took the block of the running back on that play and that allowed Will to be singled up and Will is one of those guys who keeps coming and keeps coming. He’s a relentless football player.”
In the three previous years, Iowa State outscored Oklahoma 69-27 in the second half. On Saturday, the Cyclones outscored the Sooners 24-13.
The impressive second half led to a bit of history for the Cyclones — this was Iowa State’s first home win against Oklahoma since 1960, breaking a 24-game home losing streak.
