Let’s dive into a few of the match-ups: 

  • 20-December-1978            28-12 Texas A&M            Hall of Fame Bowl (Birmingham)
    • Texas A&M coach Tom Wilson, who took over the program during the 1978 season, led A&M to a bowl game victory over Iowa State. Aggie halfback Curtis Dickey ran for 276 yards and 1 TD in the win. Dickey’s effort still ranks 2nd in school history for rushing yards in a game. The Cyclones put up a good fight in the game and at one point midway through the 3rd quarter they pulled within two points at 14-12. Dickey led the Aggies as they controlled the clock in the 4th quarter with runs of 21, 24 and 34 yards. The final blow was a 19 yard TD scamper by Dickey. 
  • 29-October-2005            42-14 Iowa State
    • Iowa State and wide receiver Todd Blythe came into Kyle Field and annihilated the Aggies. Blythe had 214 yards receiving and 4 TD’s. It was tied 7-7 after the first quarter. Then, the Cyclones reeled off 21 straight points. The Aggies added a score with 14 minutes left to pull within two scores. After that, they were able to do little else, as ISU added two more scores to bring the final to 42-14. 
  • 23-September-1984            38-17 Texas A&M
    • The Jackie Sherill led Aggies took care of Iowa State at Kyle Field. Quarterback Craig Stump came off the bench and tossed two touchdown passes in the second half to lead Texas A&M past Iowa State 38-17. Stump was brought in to replace Kevin Murray, the struggling starter.
  • 11-October-1997            56-17 Texas A&M
    The 15th ranked Aggies held serve at Kyle Field as they pummeled the Cyclones. Sirr Parker had a 78-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard run to lead the Aggies. Iowa State extended its losing streak to 13 games (the longest in the NCAA at the time).
