[edit] History

[edit] Johnny Majors Era

  • 1971 Sun Bowl

Iowa State finished the season 8-4. The 1971 teams was picked to finish last in the Big Eight but overcame odds to get a Sun Bowl bid to give the Cyclones their first bowl bid ever in Major's fourth season at Iowa State. The team was led by George Amundson who Majors called, “the finest athlete I have coached in any job I have had.” Iowa State had one all-conference pick, LB Keith Schroeder. Offensively they were led by Amundson who rushed for 1,260 yards as a Running Back, including a school record of 15 touchdowns. End Keith Krepfle had 40 receptions for 570 yards and 12 touchdowns. Quarterback Dean Carlson threw for a school record of 1,867 yards.

  • Louisiana State 33
  • Iowa State 15

Iowa State's defense played well, but was unable to control QB Bert Jones who was 12-18-227 with three touchdowns. Iowa State got to within four points in the fourth quarter, but Bert Jones drove LSU down the field for yet another score.

  • 1972 Liberty Bowl
  • Georgia Tech 31
  • Iowa State 30

1972 saw the loss of five starters and the move of George Amundson from Running Back to Quarterback to replace Dean Carlson. The Clones lost LB Matt Blair to a pre season injury which forced him into a medical redshirt. The Cyclones fought Nebraska to a 23-23 tie during the '72 season which would have been won on a made extra point by Tom Goedjen, who missed the extra point, but wouldn't miss another extra point as a Cyclone. Three players went on to be named to the All-Big Eight team, OL Geary Murdoch, DE Merv Krakau and QB George Amundson. George Amundson was named Big Eight player of the year over Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers.

Iowa State led 14-3 after the first quarter and a Willie Jones Liberty Bowl-record 93-yard kickoff return gave the Cyclones a 21- 17 halftime edge. Georgia Tech regained the lead, but the Cyclones took advantage of a Tech turnover late in the game. Amundson hit Ike Harris on a 5-yard TD pass with 1:36 left to cut the Tech lead to 31-30, but Amundson’s two-point conversion pass fell incomplete to end the Cyclones’ chances for victory before 50,021 emotionally spent fans, as well as an ABC-TV prime-time national audience.

[edit] Earle Bruce Era

  • 1976 Cyclones

The team finished the season with a 8-3 record and a No. 18 ranking, but were snubbed by the bowls. Bruce was selected as the Big 12 Coach of the year and had four players garner all conference honors, including Luther Blue, a Split End, who was an All-American. Iowa State would have tied for a share of the Big Eight title with a win over Oklahoma State in the season finale, but they lost. They upset power house Nebraska 37-28, their first win over Nebraska since 1960. But were unable to beat bowl bound teams Oklahoma State and Colorado.

  • 1977 Peach Bowl
  • North Carolina State, 24
  • Iowa State, 14

Following another good season, where the Cyclones again beat Nebraska, Iowa State earned a berth in the Peach Bowl. They also tied for second in the conference. The Peach Bowl saw the match up of two stellar running backs, NC State's Ted Brown and Iowa State's Dexter Green. The game however was dominated by QB Johnny Evans who put up 264 yards of total offense.

  • 1978 Hall of Fame Bowl
  • Texas A&M 28
  • Iowa State 12

The Cyclones returned 14 starters from the 1977 peach bowl team including Heisman Trophy candidate Dexter Green and Outland Trophy hopeful Mike Stensrud. Iowa State's post season hopes came down to their last game against Colorado which was nationally televised. The game was close throughout, with ISU clinging to a 17-10 halftime lead. A 27-yard fi rst-half TD pass from Grant to Hardee and a 24-yard field goal from Steve Johnson gave ISU a 10-0 lead. After a CU touchdown closed the gap, Grant rumbled into the endzone from five yards out before the Buffs closed the half with a fi eld goal. The second half was a defensive battle, but the ISU defense came up with big plays down the stretch. Mike Stensrud had 16 stops and caused a fumble to help ISU preserve a 20-16 win over the Buffs. The win earned ISU a Hall of Fame Bowl bid. Cyclones that made the Big Eight first team were Dexter Green, Mike Stensrud, Tom Boskey and Dick Cuvelier. Chris Boskey was named Big Eight Newcomer of the Year.

Iowa State was favored in the Hall of Fame Bowl, but Texas A&M RB Curtis Dickey ran for a Hall of Fame Bowl record of 276 yards. Dickey had 184 yards in the first half, including runs of 54, 25, 35, and 21 yards.

[edit] Dan McCarney Era

Dan McCarney was hired following the 1994 season to replace Jim Walden. McCarney coached RB Troy Davis to a second-place finish in the Heisman Trophy race in 1996. Florida QB Danny Wuerffel won the award. McCarney's impact on the Cyclones wasn't felt until 1998 when the Cyclones defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes and snapped a 15 game losing streak against Iowa. McCarney's Cyclones would win five straight games against Iowa following the 1998 game.

In 2000, McCarney took the Cyclones to their first bowl game since 1978 and their first ever bowl victory. Led by senior QB Sage Rosenfels, the Cyclones won against the University of Pittsburgh Panthers in the Insight.com Bowl at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix, Arizona.

Propelled by newcomer Seneca Wallace, the Cyclones went to a second bowl game in 2001 against the University of Alabama Crimson Tide in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana. They lost the game on a disputed field goal by Tony Yelk which went right over the right goal post.

Seneca Wallace would lead the Cyclones to a 6-1 start in 2002, including a near-win against the Florida State Seminoles in the Eddie Robinson Classic in Kansas City, Missouri. Wallace dove towards the goal line at the last second but was ruled out shy of the end zone. At one point the Cyclones were ranked #9 in the country. They wouldn't finish the season as well as they began it. They finished the season 7-7 following a loss to Boise State in the Humanitarian Bowl. They beat both Iowa and Nebraska that season.

The following season wasn't as successful. The Cyclones finished 2003 with a 2-10 record. They were quarterbacked by redshirt freshman Austin Flynn. Flynn was often running for his life because of the lackluster performance of the offensive line.

The 2004 season would be much more successful for the Cyclones. Redshirt freshman Bret Meyer took over the quarterback spot and paired up with fellow redshirt freshman receiver Todd Blythe to make a lethal combination. The Cyclones had a chance to win the Big 12 North Title but fell short after a Missouri defender intercepted a pass intended for Jon Davis in the end zone. The Cyclones would go on to play Miami(Ohio) in the Independence Bowl. They won the game 17-13. The Cyclones finished the season 7-5.

The Cyclones continued their success under McCarney in the 2005 season with a 7-5 record. They missed out yet again on the Big 12 title when they lost in Overtime to the Kansas Jayhawks after a missed field goal by Bret Culbertson. They led the game in the 4th quarter but allowed Kansas to come back. They got a berth in the EV1.net Houston Bowl, but lost 24-27 to the Texas Christian Horned Frogs.

McCarney stepped down as Head Coach after a 4-8 season in 2006.

[edit] "Cyclones"

Up until the 1895 season the Iowa State College Athletics teams were known as the "Cardinals." But on Sep. 29 the Cardinals routed the Northwestern Wildcats, 36-0. During that Summer many tornadoes had hit Iowa. Which lead to a Chicago Tribune headline that read "Struck by a Cyclone." The article went on to say,"Northwestern might as well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone as wtih the team it met yesterday." Since then the Iowa State teams have been known as the "Cyclones"

[edit] Jack Trice, Cyclone Legend and Stadium Namesake

Jack Trice was the first Iowa State athlete to die as a member of an Iowa State athletic team. He died three days after his first game playing for Iowa State against the University of Minnesota on October 6,1923. He suffered a broken collarbone early on, but continued to play until he was trampled by a group of Minnesota players. It is disputed whether he was trampled on purpose or if it was an accident. He was also the first black athlete at Iowa State. A statue commemorates him outside of the stadium named for him, Jack Trice Stadium. His legacy was forgotten until sometime in the 70's some students found a plaque commemorating him in State Gym. They decided to put up a petition to name the stadium, at the time known as Cyclones Stadium, after him. Originally they got the field named after him in 1984. The entire stadium was named Jack Trice Stadium in 1997.

The night before the game he wrote down his thoughts going into the game, "My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family & self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays I must break thru the opponents' line and stop the play in their territory. Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for crossbucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good.”

[edit] Seneca Wallace run

A play that catapulted Wallace briefly into the Heisman race and gained notoriety by ESPN as Play of the Week and has since been recognized as one of the great College Football Plays. It involved Seneca Wallace running around 120 yards of field in order to get a 12 yard touchdown. He ran backwards, sideways, and forward and was sprung even further by a devastating block made by Iowa State Running Back Michael Wagner on a Texas Tech defender. The play is affectionately known as "The Run." Just as memorable was the play-by-play given by Cyclone Radio broadcaster Pete Taylor. Watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwqXK_gN974).

[edit] Iowa State gets real life mascot

It is well known that Iowa State uses a cardinal for its mascot instead of an actual tornado or Cyclone. Prior to the football matchup against the University of Colorado on November 12, 2005 a tornado touched down in Ames, Iowa and forced fans to either stand out in the parking lot and watch the storm or flee to shelter in Hilton Coliseum. It created such an atmosphere that Iowa State was able to win over the favored Buffaloes 30-16. When asked about the event, Colorado coach Gary Barnett said, "I thought we had a pretty good mascot. But when we showed up at Iowa State and they had a real tornado, that's the real deal."
