When Iowa State football needed a big play, Aiden Flora stepped up.
The redshirt freshman running back didn't make his impact on offense, but he provided a massive boost in special teams.
With the Cyclones trailing 17-12 against TCU with about six minutes and change remaining in the fourth, the Iowa State defense forced a punt. Flora, who was back deep to return the kick, weaved in and out of Horned Frog defenders before finding a lane and sprinting 79 yards to the house to give Iowa State the lead. It's his first career punt return score.
Following a 2-point conversion, the Cyclones led 18-15 with 6:36 remaining in regulation. Need a news break? Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!
