Iowa State hopes the momentum the run game got in the second half of a win over Kansas State will continue in Saturday’s home opener against South Dakota. After sputtering in the opening half the Cyclones found the holes in the K-State defense after halftime in a 24-21 victory.

That’s ISU running back Carson Hansen who says the South Dakota defense will provide a challenge.

Senior center Jim Bonifas says it took the offense a while to find answers against K-State.
