Watch: Iowa State radio’s John Walters calls Kyle Konrardy’s game-winning field goal vs Iowa

Iowa State football kicker Kyle Konrardy etched his name in Cyclones lore on Saturday after nailing a 54-yard field goal to beat Iowa in the in-state rivalry game.

Iowa State, which won the Cy-Hawk for only the second time in the last eight seasons, also received a memorable radio call from Iowa State director of broadcasting John Walters in the process.

“Oh, my goodness!” Walter yelled after Konrardy nailed the kick.

Konrardy, a redshirt freshman, is in his first season as the Cyclones starter, and he attempted his first collegiate kick ever against Iowa on Saturday. He went 2 of 3 on his kicks, with the 54-yarder standing as his career high so far.

Iowa State’s comeback will add to the memory of Konrardy’s kick, as the Cyclones faced a 13-0 deficit at halftime but held Iowa to only six points in the second half en route to their 20-19 win. Quarterback Rocco Becht was solid in the game, completing 23 of 35 passes for 272 yards with two touchdowns to an interception.

Iowa State, which debuted in the US LBM Coaches Poll this season ahead of Week 3, is ranked No. 23 ahead of its next matchup with Arkansas State on Sept. 21 after having the upcoming weekend off.

Here’s the full clip of Konrardy’s game-winner kick, along with Walters’ radio call:

The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, but not without the Iowa Hawkeyes once again sending a healthy group to the next level. Iowa saw another class of NFL prospects hear their names called and find out where their new homes will be.

As is the norm for Iowa, this draft class was headlined by offensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive line talent, which is fitting. This is how Iowa wins so many games under Kirk Ferentz, and it is a direct correlation to this program’s ability to mold and develop talent into NFL stars.

While this class of draft prospects gets set to make their way to their new NFL homes, check out the recap of where each player is headed, along with where they were taken in this year’s draft.
