Brett Eskildsen - Single catch at Oklahoma State Eskildsen reeled in his only target for 19 yards during Saturday's 20-13 victory versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Eskildsen managed just one catch and has done so in four of his last five games. It was a windy day at Oklahoma State, so Iowa State leaned heavily on their run game against the Cowboys. Iowa State will play in a bowl game.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Brahmer - Single catch against Cowboys Brahmer reeled in 1 of 2 targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 20-13 victory versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Brahmer managed just one catch as it was a windy day at Oklahoma State. QB Rocco Becht struggled with accuracy on the day with a season low completion percentage. Brahmer has been one of the most productive tight ends in the conference with 37 catches (on 52 targets) for 446 yards and six touchdowns. He had been on three-game touchdown streak entering the game with Oklahoma State. He'll look to get back to his scoring ways in a bowl game for the Cyclones.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Chase Sowell - Grabs TD at Oklahoma State Sowell gathered in 4 of 7 targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-13 victory versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Sowell grabbed his second touchdown of the season and his first since scoring at Cincinnati in Week 6. It was a windy day at Oklahoma State, so that's why there wasn't a lot of offensive production through the air for the Cyclones. The number one wideout for Iowa State has 32 catches (on 62 targets) for 500 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa State will finish the year in a bowl game.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Abu Sama III - Records fifth TD in road win Sama notched 11 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-13 win versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Sama recorded his fifth touchdown of the season with a 40-yard burst. He's recorded double-digit carries in two straight games as Iowa State leaned heavily on the run-game against the Cowboys. Teammate Carson Hansen has recorded five straight 100-yard rushing performances. Iowa State will play in a bowl game to end the year.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Carson Hansen - Fifth straight 100-yard game Hansen accrued 24 carries for 109 yards during Saturday's 20-13 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Hansen's hot streak continued as he has now run for over 100 yards in five straight games. It was a windy day at Oklahoma State, so it led to Iowa State leaning heavily on their running game against the Cowboys. Hansen is just 50 yards away from logging his first 1,000-yard rushing season. He'll have the opportunity to hit that milestone in a bowl game for the Cyclones.
