Abu Sama made his first start for Iowa State a memorable one. Sama's 276 yards rushing in the snow in a 42-35 win at Kansas State were the fourth-most in the Football Bowl Subdivision this season. His big night was highlighted by touchdown runs of 71, 77 and 60 yards. He became the second FBS player since 1996 with three or more rushing touchdowns of at least 60 yards against a ranked opponent and the first player in the Big 12 with two 70-plus-yard rushing TDs in a game since Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson in 2005.
