Sophomores take top three spots against Iowa State

By Staff     Nov 18, 2012

**1. Tony Pierson:** Ran down cornerback Jacques Washington, who had intercepted a two-point conversion pass, ran 55 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 37-yard reception.

**2. Ben Heeney:** He’s one tough tackler and had 13 more of them, eight of the solo variety.

**3. Jimmay Mundine:** Had three receptions for 63 yards, including a 35-yard gain.

**4. James Sims:** Streak of six consecutive 100-yard rushing games ended. He was limited to 81 yards on 20 carries and had a 16-yard reception.

**5. D.J. Beshears:** Had three rushes for 40 yards and returned two kicks for 60 yards. Beshears is 17 yards shy of breaking Marcus Herford’s career kick return school record.

**6. Tanner Hawkinson:** Helped to give the quarterbacks time to look for wide receivers, who for the most part either couldn’t get open or dropped accurate passes.

**7. Duane Zlatnik:** Threw a punishing block that helped Sims gain 16 yards on a screen pass.

**8. Dayne Crist:** If not for a few drops from receivers, including a couple from Chris Omigie on third down, he might have led the offense to better things.

**9. Lubbock Smith:** Always a hard-hitter, he had nine tackles.

**10. Ben Goodman:** Projects as a possible starter at defensive end at next season. He had five tackles.
