Konrardy comes through: Cyclones freshman kicker wins Cy-Hawk game with 54-yard field goal
POWERED BY CARL’S AUTO GROUP. IT’S A CYCLONE STATE ISU STORMED BACK FROM A 13 ZERO HALFTIME DEFICIT TO STUN IOWA 2019 AND WIN THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT CY-HAWK ROAD GAME. THEY DIDN’T TAKE A LEAD IN THIS GAME UNTIL THEY WERE JUST SIX SECONDS LEFT. THE TROPHY IS HEADED BACK TO AMES IN UNFORGETTABLE FASHION. WELCOME BACK AS OUR LIVE COVERAGE CONTINUES OUT HERE AT KINNICK STADIUM WITH SHANNON EARHART. SHANNON. WOW. I MEAN, AN ASTOUNDING AND ASTOUNDING DAY. I ACTUALLY HEARD EARLIER TODAY THAT ALL OF THE HAWKEYES ACTUALLY HAD THE TROPHY SITTING IN THEIR WEIGHT ROOM FOR MOTIVATION THIS ENTIRE WEEK, AND NOW IT’S GONE. IT’S BACK IN AMES. ONE POINT, AND THE MAN OF THE HOUR, KYLE KONRARDY KONRARDY I MEAN, JEFF TALKS ALL ABOUT THIS, NOT SO SURPRISING, MAYBE SURPRISING FIELD GOAL HERE. HERE IT IS. WITH THE TALK OF THE STATE ON THE LINE, BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR THE YEAR ON THE LINE, IT WAS THE REDSHIRT FRESHMAN FROM DUBUQUE, IOWA WHO SPLIT THESE UPRIGHTS HERE BEHIND ME AT KINNICK STADIUM, LIFTING IOWA STATE TO AN INSTANT CLASSIC. CY-HAWK VICTORY. KYLE, DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HIT IT, IT WAS GOOD? YES, SIR. AFTER MISSING HIS FIRST FIELD GOAL OF THE GAME, I DIDN’T FLINCH MUCH WHEN WE MISSED IT. JUST BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE, MAN, THE KID DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO KICK A FIELD GOAL LAST WEEK, IOWA STATE KICKER KYLE KONRARDY USED THE SKILL THAT ALL KICKERS MUST HAVE. I REALLY JUST DIDN’T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE MISTAKE AND THEN JUST FOCUSED ON WHAT I COULD DO NOW AND JUST WHAT I COULD DO FOR THE NEXT ONE, AND WAS ABLE TO BOUNCE BACK. MAKING HIS SECOND TWO ATTEMPTS OF THE GAME, THE SECOND OF WHICH HAS MADE HIM A CYCLONE LEGEND. WE TALK ABOUT PRACTICING AND PERFORMING ALL THE TIME, SO I WENT OUT THERE LIKE I PRACTICED AND WE PERFORMED. THE YOUNG MAN WHO DIDN’T START PLAYING FOOTBALL UNTIL HIS JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, MADE A 54 YARD FIELD GOAL. HE HITS THOSE ALL THE TIME IN PRACTICE AS THE SUN SET BELOW KINNICK STADIUM, SINKING THE HAWKEYES AND THE CY-HAWK GAME. I JUST SEE A LOT OF FACE MASKS IN MY FACE. THAT’S IT REALLY. FOR THAT KID TO STEP UP IN A CRITICAL MOMENT AND YOU KNOW, FOR HIS DAD AND HIS MOM JUST THAT’S WHAT THAT’S WHAT OUR SPORT IS ABOUT. SO I’M REALLY PROUD OF HIM. AND SENDING THE CITY OF AMES AND CYCLONE NATION EVERYWHERE INTO A FRENZY. REPORTIN
