Breece Hall ran for 242 yards and 3 touchdowns and caught 2 passes for 39 yards and one more score to lead Iowa State to a 48-14 rout of TCU on Friday. In the process Hall broke the NCAA record for consecutive games with a rushing touchdown at 24 games. He broke that record on his first score of the game, a 39-yard run in the second quarter. He went on to haul in a 22-yard passing TD in the third and ripped off an 80 yard run to open up the fourth quarter and capped the day with an 4 yard run with 8:53 left.

The day turned in to a great celebration of a senior class of 23 that has helped ISU to a big turnaround under Matt Campbell. Senior quarterback Brock Purdy went 21-30 passing for 262 yards and 2 touchdowns in his final game in Ames. Purdy now holds or has tied 32 school records and finished 16-1 as a starter at home in Big 12 play.

Senior tight end Chase Allen hauled in a touchdown reception with 4:48 to play to cap the scoring. His counterpart Charlie Kolar finished the best tight end season in ISU history with the most receptions (58) and yards (723) in a season. Receiver Xavier Hutchinson also etched his name in the record books. He caught 7 balls for 107 yards and set the school record for receptions in a season with 82.

Iowa State improved to 7-5 overall and 5-4 in Big 12 play. The Cyclones now await their postseason destination.

Former Lewis Central quarterback Max Duggan went 15-26 for 216 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception for TCU. The Horned Frogs are now 5-7 on the season.
