Iowa State finishes memorable season at 6-7

Posted December 31, 2011 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Jared Barnett,  Gene Chizik
TEAMS: Iowa State Cyclones,  Texas Tech Red Raiders,  Oklahoma State Cowboys,  Auburn Tigers

(Eds: APNewsNow. With AP Photos.) By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer Iowa State began the year with a narrow win over an FCS team on a hot September night. The Cyclones ended 2011 with a disappointing 27-13 loss to Rutgers on a frigid December afternoon in Yankee Stadium. In between those two dates, they managed to produce a roller-coaster 6-7 season. Iowa State won their first three games with thrilling fourth-quarter rallies, then crashed hard with four straight losses to open Big 12 play. The Cyclones stunned Texas Tech behind new quarterback Jared Barnett and turned the national title picture upside-down by beating then-No. 2 Oklahoma State in overtime on Nov. 18. The Cyclones managed to become nationally relevant - just three years after Gene Chizik's jump to Auburn left the program in turmoil.
