Rocco Becht establishes a new precision benchmark in Iowa State's dominant victory over South Dakota (No. 22), securing a score of 55-7.
Iowa State dominated South Dakota in a lopsided game, securing a 55-7 victory. The Cyclones showcased their offensive prowess, with quarterback Rocco Becht completing an impressive 19 out of 20 passes, setting a school record for completion percentage at 95%.
Becht's stellar performance resulted in 278 yards and three touchdowns, with two of those scores going to Benjamin Brahmer and another to Gabe Burkle, who had four catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. Dylan Lee led the rushing attack with 81 yards and a touchdown.
South Dakota coach Travis Johansen acknowledged that his team did not play well enough against Iowa State. The Coyotes' only touchdown came in the first quarter, a 6-yard pass from Aidan Bouman to Larenzo Fenner. However, Bouman's overall performance was not as impressive, completing 15 out of 29 passes for 126 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions.
The victory marked Iowa State's 10th straight win against South Dakota, with the Cyclones allowing just 19 points to the Coyotes throughout their history. The win also marked coach Matt Campbell's fourth back-to-back victory with the team.
Looking ahead, South Dakota will visit Lamar on Saturday in their next game, while Iowa State will host Iowa on Saturday.
