Tate Tosses 3 Touchdowns As Iowa Defeats ISU
Cyclones Lead In Second Quarter
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Drew Tate wasn't about to let the Cyclones break Iowa's
heart again.
The senior quarterback tossed three touchdowns Saturday as the 16th-ranked
Hawkeyes beat Iowa State University 27-17 in Iowa City. The Cyclones (2-1)
seemed poised to beat Iowa for the seventh time in nine tries when they led 14-3
in the second quarter.
But Tate led Iowa (3-0) by throwing a pair of touchdowns in the second half.
He led consecutive scoring drives that put Iowa ahead 24-17 early in the fourth
quarter. He found Tony Moeaki for a 19-yard touchdown with 3:32 left in the third
quarter to tie the game at 17, then hit Tom Busch for a 2-yard scoring strike that
proved to be the game-winning score. Iowa's defense did the rest.
Bret Meyer finished 15 of 31 for 152 yards, and passed Seneca Wallace as Iowa
State's career leader in passing yards. He also ran for 74 yards and a
touchdown.
