Iowa State wasn’t going anywhere against Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday. Then, the Cyclones found a play that pretty much summed up their day.
Watch as Brock Purdy tries to find a receiver. The pass is deflected in the air. An Iowa State player decides rather than doing the prudent thing and smashing the ball into the turf, deflects it forward …
… into the hands of Clemson’s Mario Goodrich, who was more than happy to take the present 18 yards into the end zone.

The PAT gave Clemson a 20-3 lead as they sought to win their 10th game of what is considered a down year for the Tigers.
