Had no idea Wirtel was the one that caused the offisides. Love to see it!
So happy to see Connor Assalley make such a huge play. The kid obviously has a lot of composure and talent. But, it's even better to see the video interview posted of him and get the strong feeling he's a good person. Campbell has compiled such a great group of men and they all are doing such amazing things. We are lucky they represent our University.
Connor Assalley is a Cyclone legend no matter what happens from here on out. Get that man a scholarship if he doesn't already have one! Enjoy the good times, Cyclone Nation.
P.S. Rob Gray always writes good pieces.

I am as happy as the next guy about the win but making a kick that a college level kicker should make 90% of the time doesn’t make you a legend.
It does at ISU. Draw your own conclusions.
Considering the last walkoff kick for ISU was in 1983 he is a legend. We haven’t beaten Texas very many times and that made it that much sweeter.
I’ll never forget the kid that hit the first walk off FG that I’ve seen iowa state win.
Sadly I remember the missed walk off attempt against Mizzou... Feels good to be on the good side of one of those.
Alex Giffords against OU also comes to mind.

There's a difference between making a chip shot in practice and hitting a FG with no time left to win the game. Not even going to OT if missed, lose if missed. That's some pressure there.
Connor should get a lot of props for accepting his role as the "short" Fg kicker and letting Narveson take over the long kicks. That's a good reflection of his character and more exciting of the culture that this staff has created within the program.
He was the hero of the game for sure. Heroes get remembered but legends never die. It was a huge, clutch kick, but it’s not like he pickled the beast.
I could’ve been there for one in Iowa city 2014, but Rhoads decided 0:07 was the right time to call the last timeout
