One Iowa State player found a delightful way to respond to a tense moment on the field.
On a Texas Tech offensive drive, Cyclones linebacker Kendell Jackson drove back a Red Raiders ball carrier and flung him to the ground.
It looked more aggressive football play than actual malevolence, but Texas Tech lineman Weston Wright wasn’t having it. Wright pushed Jackson to the ground right in front of a referee, who didn’t throw a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct.
While the push was blatant, it’s possible Jackson might’ve flopped a bit after contact, which wouldn’t have fooled the ref that close up.
Regardless, Jackson’s Iowa State teammate, defensive end Will McDonald IV, hilariously intervened after Jackson hit the grass.
McDonald “performed” CPR on him to help revive his dented ego.

Well, we’re glad someone brought an… IV… in to help Jackson after he got pushed down. *crickets*
Tough crowd, tough crowd.
Anywho, we’re glad McDonald rushed in with the perfectly timed joke, and we’re sure these guys are going to be laughing about this for years to come.
