Rocco Becht’s one-yard run in the final minute Saturday and the ensuing PAT gave Iowa State a 42-41 victory over Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
The Hurricanes led 38-28 in the third quarter before the Cyclones rallied.
Miami played its second half without quarterback Cam Ward, who opted to sit out after playing the first 30 minutes and going 12-of-19 for 190 yards with three touchdowns.
Cam Ward. Record breaker.
