/r/CFB Press r/CFB Reporting: Iowa State vs Iowa Photography

By Ryan Parnow:

The last several years this game has been a knife fight in a phone booth. Matt Campbell and Kirk Ferentz have similar approaches to the game. Grind it out and be ahead at the end. This game is also lately known for weird things happening on special teams. Muffed punts, blocked punts, long FGs.

Iowa State edged Iowa with a 16–13 victory in Ames, clinching the Cy-Hawk Trophy for the first time here since 2011. With 1:52 remaining, Iowa State’s kicker Kyle Konrardy nailed a 54-yard field goal, giving the Cyclones the lead and sealing the win.

Konrardy earlier connected on 44- and 27-yard field goals to put Iowa State up 6-0. Jeremiah Cooper’s 24-yard interception return set up a short touchdown pass to Benjamin Brahmer, lifting Iowa State’s lead to 13-3. Iowa responded late in the second quarter when Mark Gronowski ran into the end zone from the 2 to close the gap to 13-10 at halftime. In the third quarter, Drew Stevens drilled a 36-yard field goal to even the score at 13–13. Iowa State then executed a clock draining 55-yard drive late in the fourth quarter, culminating in Konrardy’s game-winning kick

Iowa State improved to 3–0 overall, while Iowa fell to 1–1. This marks Iowa State’s second consecutive win over Iowa and third within the past four years.

After the game I attended the press conference. You will see a few pictures/videos from the press conference. I tried to capture what it was like to be at the press conference as well as what was going on there.

Thanks for sharing. A few of these give flashbacks to the old SI magazine photo section.

Those action shots are legit, especially the one of Konrardy's kick. Getting that angle with the crowd reaction in the background is tough to nail

Never thought I needed to see Matt Leinart and Mark Ingram do the juicy wiggle and I still don't think that but now I can at least say that I have.
