So happy for our seniors that have put in the blood, sweat and tears for a long time, a lot of years here. After the big win down at Texas Tech, we were in the locker room and we challenged all the underclassmen, freshmen, sophomores, juniors to lay it on the line today for our seniors because of what they've meant to our program. Without question, we played an excellent football game. Was it it perfect? No. But the conditions weren't perfect either." Cold weather and a bitter swirling west wind created challenges for players in the game and were a challenge for fans who were bundled in everything from heavy coats and stocking caps to blankets. For some it was too much as the crowd outdoors in the stadium thinned out a bit during the course of the game. For the Wildcats freshman Jacardia Wright ran for a touchdown and the Wildcat defense held Iowa State q	uarterback Brock Purcy to just 15 of 30 passing for 185 yards and a touchdown.
