The Iowa St. Cyclones barely survived the Northern Iowa Panthers' visit to Ames, Ia., as it required a touchdown in the final minute of regulation to pull ahead. The Cyclones won, 20-19.
Northern Iowa jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter with two field goals by Tyler Sievertsen. They lost the lead at the very end of the second quarter when Steele Jantz rushed one yard for the touchdown. Northern Iowa's David Johnson found the end zone late in the third quarter, putting the Panthers in the lead, 13-7.
The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth game. The Cyclones added a field goal with less than five minutes left. But just seconds later David Johnson had his second touchdown of the game, an 80-yard reception from Tirrell Rennie. The Panthers held a tenuous 19-14 lead.
Steele Jantz then took the Cyclones down the field for 60 yards and his one-yard touchdown run with 40 seconds left in the game. Northern Iowa fumbled and lost the ball on the ensuing drive, giving Iowa State the victory.
