TCU didn’t need to push for “style points” much in Saturday’s Big 12 season finale against Iowa State at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. The offensive explosions mostly came as a matter of course. The No. 3 Horned Frogs needed precis...
AMES — One last time through the Jack Trice Stadium tunnel. One last time to serve as a leader on his hometown field. “It will be emotional,” said ISU senior defensive end and captain Cory Morrissey, who will play his last home game Saturday at 11 a.m. aga...
AMES — Iowa State’s two best offensive games of the season came with speedy and shifty slot receiver Jarvis West mostly on the shelf. This week he’s expected to be at or near 100 percent health, which should inject yet more high-octane fuel into an offense that...

AMES —Sam Richardson tried to make a play. Desperately. So much so that the ISU quarterback turned a certain sack into an interception. Down 14-7 to seventh-ranked Baylor and under siege early in the second quarter, Richardson attempted to evade a big los...
