Make that win #3, thank you very much. Yes, the lowly but late-improving Iowa State Cyclones upset another visiting team from the Big 12 North, defeating Colorado 31-28 at Jack Trice Stadium yesterday.

And what an impressive win it was: ISU trailed 21-0 in the first half but came back to score three TDs in the third quarter, while the defense all but shut down the Buffaloes in the second half. Cyclone Chronicles has an excellent write up of the game for more details, because of course it wasn’t carried on any national TV broadcast.

Looking at the way the Clones have improved throughout the season, I think they made the right choice in hiring Gene Chizik, and hopefully this bodes well for success next year and the year after that. Hey, maybe they’ll even beat Northern Iowa.
