COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Ennis Haywood ran for 120 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as Iowa State beat Missouri 20-14 for its seventh win in eight games.
The score was tied 14-all late in the fourth quarter before a pair of field goals by Tony Yelk. His first, a 21-yarder, came at the end of an 8-play, 34-yard drive with 6:39 remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, Hiawatha Rutland stripped the ball from Missouri kick returner Tay Jackson.
Lane Danielsen recovered for Iowa State at the 12, and Yelk put the Cyclones ahead 20-14 five plays later with a 24-yard kick.
Iowa State improved to 4-1, including 2-1 in the Big 12. Haywood increased his yards rushing to 578, putting the Cyclones on track to have a back rush for 1,000 yards for the seventh straight season.
Kirk Farmer, who completed 14 of 31 passes for 137 yards, put the Tigers (2-3, 1-2) ahead 14-7 with 5:37 left in the third quarter, throwing a 6-yard TD pass to tight end Dwayne Blakley.
Haywood tied the game on the next series, scoring from 4-yards out to end a nine-play, 74-yard drive.
Yelk twice backed up Missouri against its own goal line, with his 62-yard punt late in the first quarter leaving the Tigers at their own 2. Backup quarterback Darius Outlaw couldn't move Missouri past the 5 and freshman Brock Harvey managed only a 31-yard punt.
Two plays later, Haywood dodged at least three tacklers to score from 21 yards out, giving Iowa State a 7-0 lead with 12:33 left in the half. Neither Outlaw nor Harvey returned.
Farmer tied the game on Missouri's following possession, rolling untouched into the end zone on a 5-yard run that capped a 6-play, 52-yard drive.
Iowa State burned much of the first quarter on a 16-play, 62-yard drive that lasted 8:03 but didn't yield a score. Wallace was 5 of 7 for 20 yards as the Cyclones converted four third downs on the drive, but Yelk's sent his 43-yard field goal attempt on fourth-and-15 wide left.
Missouri's Zack Abron ran for a career-high 147 yards, topping his previous best of 106 yards against Southwest Texas last month.
The game was played in the same cool, rainy weather that delayed the start of the St. Louis Cardinals playoff game against Arizona.
