MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Allen Lazard tied a Liberty Bowl record with 10 catches and put Iowa State ahead with a remarkable 5-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter Saturday, and the Cyclones beat No. 19 Memphis 21-20 on the Tigers’ home field. Iowa State (8-5) held on to win after losing its first fumble this season just as it appeared on the verge of scoring an insurance touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Lazard ended up with 142 yards receiving in his final college game and was named the Liberty Bowl’s most valuable player. His 10th touchdown catch of the year set Iowa State’s single-season record. His 10 catches matched the highest total in the Liberty Bowl’s 59-game history. Other receivers with 10 catches in a Liberty Bowl were Louisville’s Deion Branch in 2000 and Arkansas’ Bobby Joe Edmonds in 1984.

Iowa State now seeks to go to back-to-back in bowl games, something the Cyclones haven’t done since 2004-05. The Cyclones lose a lot of leadership as they attempt to replace a senior class that includes Lazard and linebacker Joel Lanning, among others. Iowa State begins its 2018 schedule by hosting South Dakota State on Sept. 1.
