Iowa State QB Richardson showing improvement despite injuries to Cyclones' receiving corps

Published February 05, 2015

Iowa State spent years trying to figure out what it had in quarterback Sam Richardson, and know now that he might be the Cyclones' most valuable player.

Richardson set a school record with 37 completions in Iowa State's 37-30 win over Toledo last weekend. He threw for 351 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while rallying the Cyclones (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) past the Rockets to keep their slim bowl hopes alive.

The junior quarterback has thrown 10 TD passes with just four picks through six games. He's also Iowa State's leading rusher with 283 yards.

The Cyclones take on Texas (2-4, 1-2) in Austin on Saturday.
