Iowa State Now 3-0

A Jack Trice Stadium crowd of 55,783 — the fourth-largest in school history — came alive as the Cyclones scored touchdowns on their first two possessions and then cruised past Western Illinois 37-3.
Iowa State now stands 3-0 as the Big XII season gets underway.

Western Illinois never advanced beyond Iowa State’s 44-yard line in the first half and finished with an average of 2.7 yards per rush and a total of 75 passing yards.

The Cyclones have a week off before hosting Texas Tech in their Big 12 opener Sept. 29.
