(Radio Iowa) – A bad third quarter proved costly for Iowa State in a loss at the Cheez-It Bowl.

(That’s John Walters with the call on the Cyclone Network) Clemson scored moments later on a pick six to build a 20-3 and held off a late Cyclone comeback for a 20-13 victory. ISU coach Matt Campbell says it was a great effort but just too many mistakes to overcome.

It was the final game for a senior class that Campbell says built the foundation for the program.

Several key players closed their career but Campbell feels the future of the program is bright.

Senior tight end Chase Allen says the Cyclones never felt like they were out of the game.

Subbing for All American running back Breece Hall, sophomore Jirehl Brock had 42 yards of rushing and added 21 yards in receiving.

Linebacker O’Rien Vance says the future of the program is bright.

Linebacker Jake Hummel says the game was much like the season.

The Cyclones close it out with a record of 7-6.
