Just wanted to say how awesome that was. Love the mob after by the teammates. Glad he could get that in his last game at Jack Trice.
Landen Akers Appreciation and First TD!
- Thread starter 4EverACyclone
- Start date
Landen is just another Iowan who is proud to be a Cyclone today. Can't have enough winners like him wearing the cardinal and gold.
I saw him open up on that play and screamed at my TV: "get it to Akers!
So happy he got one on Senior day... Nobody deserves it more!!!

Both my son sitting next to me and the guy sitting a couple of rows behind me saw that open up for Landon, and called it. Nobody deserved it more than that senior. His blocked punt against Baylor was huge.. so happy for him.
That was truly a nice moment. Super happy for that kid. He will never forget that moment with his teammates.
When I saw him motion across and start back I knew right where it was going. Was texting my ISU buddies before the game and mentioned I hoped he got a TD today.
It was so cool to see the players just go crazy when he got the TD.
I've been hard on him over the years, but am also really happy for him. We have a great group of seniors.
Wishing them all the best in their future endeavors.

His first TD as a Cyclone. He has had 3-4 where he was off the the races and got barely tripped by a guy diving at his feet. I know he went down on the 2 on one of those. Glad he finally got his TD.
For as upset as I was in having the first 2 TDs called back due to penalties, that pass to Akers MORE than made up for it!!!
Is Akers the last player that actually commited to Paul Rhodes? Trying to think of anyone else that was coming to Iowa State to play for CPR
I think Arnold Azunna committed to the previous staff.
Guy made the most of his time and will have his masters degree as well.

How about guys like Hutchinson who show up and fully buy in to show support for their teammates like this?
I was at the game and literally got chills up my spine when I saw him come open and Brock throw him the ball. Couldn't be happier for a guy than i was at that moment for Landen. 
With his high YPC average I'm surprised he hadn't housed one in a game prior. Glad he got his TD on senior day.
