Cyclone Fans Feeling the Heat After First Loss to Texas Tech
Ugh, it’s never fun to start the season with a loss, especially to a rival like Texas Tech. And that’s exactly what happened to the Iowa State Cyclones this past weekend. They got clobbered by the Red Raiders, losing a heartbreaker in the final seconds.
What Went Wrong for the Cyclones?
The game was a nail-biter right down to the wire. Iowa State was leading for most of the game, but they just couldn’t hold on in the end. Texas Tech came out firing in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Cyclones 21-10 to secure the win.
The Cyclones’ offense was definitely lacking in the second half. They couldn’t get anything going on the ground, and their passing game was inconsistent at best. The defense, which was supposed to be a strength this season, also struggled to contain the Red Raiders’ high-powered offense.
What’s Next for Iowa State?
This loss was definitely a bummer for the Cyclones. But it’s important to remember that it’s only one game. They have a long season ahead of them, and plenty of opportunities to bounce back.
The good news? Their next opponent, Baylor, is coming off a disappointing loss of their own. The Cyclones will be looking to get back on track in a big way next week. Here’s hoping they can avoid another heartbreaking loss.
This loss will surely fuel the fire for the Cyclones. They'll be looking to redeem themselves and show the college football world that this was just a slip-up and they're still a force to be reckoned with.
