Recap of last weeks game, courtesy of cubuffs.com:
BOULDER – Cody Hawkins rallied Colorado to a 28-24 win over Iowa State on Saturday, and the Buffaloes’ defense held the Cyclones on the 1-yard line as time expired.
Hawkins, who took over for a struggling Tyler Hansen in the second half, threw for 226 yards and four touchdown passes, two of which went to Scotty McKnight.
The Cyclones (2-8, 0-6 Big 12) drove the ball down to the 1 with 3 seconds remaining, but Alexander Robinson was stuffed by Daniel Dykes and Jimmy Smith for a loss.
It was the Cyclones’ eighth straight defeat!!!
The Buffaloes (5-5, 2-4) trailed 24-13 after Robinson’s 1-yard touchdown run with 9:14 remaining, but Hawkins threw a 14-yard strike to Williams. Colorado converted the 2-point try to make it a 24-21 contest with just over 7 minutes remaining.
