Kyle Konrardy made a 34-yard field goal as time expired to give Iowa State a 51-49 victory over Oklahoma State in Ames on Saturday night.

The winning kick completed a final-minute reversal in a game that produced 100 points and 1,114 yards. Oklahoma State erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and moved ahead 49-48 on Wyatt Young's touchdown with 53 seconds remaining.

A penalty after the touchdown forced the Cowboys to kick off from their own 20-yard line. Iowa State then needed one offensive play to reach field-goal range: Jaylen Raynor completed a 33-yard pass to Jamal Polite.

The Cyclones ran the ball three times, used the remaining clock and sent Konrardy out for the final play. His kick went through with no time left, setting off a field celebration.

Iowa State built part of its advantage by stealing two possessions in the second quarter. The Cyclones recovered an onside kick and a muffed punt, turning those takeaways into a touchdown and a field goal while Oklahoma State had only one offensive possession in the period.

Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker completed 27 of 42 passes for 323 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. Caleb Hawkins rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries and added six catches for 81 yards and another score.

Justin Bowick caught seven passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma State scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to regain the lead before Iowa State's final drive.

Iowa State improved to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in Big 12 play. Oklahoma State fell to 5-3 and 3-2.

The result continued a closely contested series: each of the last 11 meetings between the teams has been decided by seven points or fewer, according to Oklahoma State's official postgame notes.
