Rocco Becht sets school record for accuracy in No. 22 Iowa State's 55-7 win over South Dakota

AMES, Iowa (AP) Rocco Becht threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, two to tight end Benjamin Brahmer, and No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones defeated South Dakota Coyotes 55-7 on Saturday.

Iowa State (2-0), which beat Kansas State 24-21 in Ireland last week, opened with back-to-back wins for the fourth time under coach Matt Campbell.

Becht completed his first 14 passes and finished 19 for 20, a school-record 95%. He threw a touchdown pass in a program-record 20th straight game.

Kyle Konrardy set the school record for longest field goal with a 63-yarder as time expired in the first half. Konrardy's kick was second-longest in Big 12 history behind Martin Gramatica's 65-yarder for Kansas State in 1998.

Brahamer caught seven balls for 47 yards and tight end Gabe Burkle had four catches for 85 yards and a touchdown.

Iowa State's Dylan Lee led all rushers with 81 yards and a touchdown, all in the second half.

South Dakota's only touchdown came on a 6-yard pass from Aidan Bouman to Larenzo Fenner in the first quarter. Bouman, who spent his first two years at Iowa State, was 15 of 29 for 126 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions.

South Dakota: The Coyotes reached the Football Championship Subdivision semifinals last season, but were overmatched against a Top 25 opponent.

Iowa State: The Cyclones continue to lean heavily on their tight ends. Of 23 completions by Behct and Alex Manske, 13 went to tight ends.
