Agreed. I'm not sure we could have stopped that RB if they kept feeding him.
Clip of the Higgins TD catch yet? I'd love to see it.
I remember saying to myself, "He caught that? Wow!". A little in-fighting on both players during the battle, but what a great grab!
He had a light breeze at his back. Wind was out of the north all day.
Still the greatest kick in school history.
Love it! Thank you!
And Coach Kirk's gum chewing rpm's really increased on that play, LOL!
Since I didnt notice a look alike thread this week, I will just put this here.
try to unsee that now. LOL

It was great but are you talking distance for school history or just moment?
Do you guys realize that Darien Porter had 2 picks yesterday? I didn't know he had the INT on the last play of the game!
“You’ve got to focus, not on the mistakes, but focus on what’s next,” Konrardy said. “Part of it was just not even think about the mistake, but focus on what I could do now.”
The key, Konrardy said, was “not think.”
“That’s it,” he said. “Just go out there and not think and just do what you do.”
Asked if he was able to do that, Konrardy smiled and said, “Yes sir.”
“It’s just like practice,” Becht said. “He hits those all of the time in practice. He has no doubt.”
Iowa (1-1) got a 35-yard return from Max White on the ensuing kickoff and had time for one play, but Cade McNamara’s pass was intercepted by Darien Porter."

Konrardy hits 54-yard field goal with 6 seconds left to lift Iowa State past No. 21 Iowa, 20-19
Kyle Konrardy made a 54-yard field goal with six seconds left to give Iowa State a 20-19 victory over No. 21 Iowa on Saturday, only the Cyclones’ third victory in the last 11 games against the Hawkeyes.
Oh, it was being said that kickoffs that direction weren’t going as far due to the wind. There was around a 10 yard difference in his kicks going the other direction. I went off that.
I guess you missed the BYU game. He got a lot of tough yards yesterday. He misses holes, but I thought he showed some improvement and toughness yesterday in getting upfield and getting what's there.
Porter also had a big tackle in 2nd half, when Johnson broke that big-gainer, might have saved a TD. (Iowa might have scored at TD on that drive anyway, can't recall).
Here’s another thing I like about the game yesterday. Kirk certainly didn’t have a good time. Does this hasten his exit after he secures some records?
This is putting the cart well ahead of the horse, but wouldn't it be something if Darien got drafted higher than TJ Tampa next year? I suppose it could happen. Darien has more speed, I think. The NFL values speed.
Let's see how the year plays out. It is just his first year starting at DB. And is this his first year at the position or was he a backup there last year? I know he started out as a WR, yes?
That was a great call. ISU has been blessed to have a fantastic radio crew for so many years, though, this is my favorite call that John W. has done:

The pressure, the distance, the opponent … all of it. And just a rocket off his foot, right down the middle. A no-doubter.
