AMES, Iowa (AP) — Rocco Becht rushed for three touchdowns and threw for 243 yards, Carson Hansen ran for two scores and No. 14 Iowa State beat Arizona 39-14 Saturday night.
Chase Sowell caught four passes for a career-high 146 yards, including receptions of 43, 32 and 52 yards.
Arizona had difficulty getting started. On the Wildcats’ first five possessions, they had a missed field goal, three punts and Fifita threw an interception.
Noah Fifita was 32 of 48 for 253 yards and two touchdowns for Arizona.
Becht completed 14 of 20 passes for the Cyclones (5-0, 2-0 Big 12), who led 36-7 midway through the third quarter. His nation-leading streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass ended at 22.
The teams were meeting for the first time since 1968, with Iowa State beating the Wildcats (4-1, 0-1) for the first time since 1968.
Tight end Ben Brahmer had one of the game’s highlights when he took an inside handoff and passed 45 yards to Brett Eskildsen to set up Becht’s third 1-yard touchdown run.
Becht and his backup, Connor Moberly, and Brahmer combined to complete 15 of 22 passes for 288 yards against an opponent that entered the game first in the country in pass efficiency defense.
Arizona hosts Oklahoma State, which lost to Baylor after firing longtime coach Mike Gundy, on Saturday.
