ISU Falls in Camping World Bowl to No. 14 Notre Dame
12.28.2019 | Football
ORLANDO – Iowa State (7-6, 5-4 Big 12) could not recover from early mistakes as No. 14 Notre Dame (11-2) took the 2019 Camping World Bowl 33-9 Saturday afternoon at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
The Cyclones, appearing in their third-straight bowl game for just the second time in school history, were in a hole early after a pair of fumbles and were unable to take advantage of some big plays by the offense, with just Connor Assalley's three field goals being how ISU got on the board.
How It Happened
A pair of fumbles plagued the first quarter for the Cyclones, as a punt return fumble by Tarique Milton led to a 39-yard Irish field goal and a Brock Purdy fumble resulted in a 24-yard TD reception by Chase Claypool gave ND a 10-0 lead.
Connor Assalley's 41-yard field goal got Iowa State on the board and within a score at 10-3, but the Irish immediately countered with Jonathan Doerer's 51-yard line drive field goal upping it to 13-3. The Notre Dame defense stuffed the Cyclones on a fourth-down attempt and made it 20-3 three plays later when Jafar Armstrong rushed in from a yard-out. Purdy was able to help engineer a drive to get Assalley a 26-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 20-6 heading into the locker room.
The Irish stuffed the Cyclones to begin the half, forcing an ISU three-and-out and scoring on the first play of the ensuing drive with Tony Jones recording a Camping World Bowl-record 84-yard scoring run to make it 27-6. The Cyclones got another red zone chance halfway through the third, but were again denied and had to settle for a 42-yard Assalley field goal.
There was no answer for the Cyclones in the fourth as ISU was held to just five yards of offense in the final quarter.
Players of Notes
Connor Assalley scored all of Iowa State's points with a trio of field goals: 41, 26 and 42-yards, respectively. His two 40-yarders were his first from 40+ since week one against UNI. He finishes the season 15-of-19 (78.9 percent) on field goals, the fourth-most accurate kicking season in ISU history.
Brock Purdy concluded his record-breaking season with single-season school records in passing yards (3,982), passing TDs (27) completions (312), total offense (4,231) and 300-yard passing games (6).
Deshaunte Jones finished his season with 76 receptions, the second-most in a season in ISU history and 877 yards, the eighth-most in a campaign in program history. His 184 career catches is second in program history and 2,052 career yards is good for fifth.
