Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht showcased his rushing ability in the Cyclones' thrilling 38-35 win over UCF, rushing for a career-high 97 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Becht’s scrambling plays helped keep the Cyclones’ offense moving, especially on third and fourth downs, as ISU improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1938. Despite two interceptions and defensive struggles, Becht's resilience and Iowa State's toughness kept their Big 12 title hopes alive heading into the bye week.
