Former Iowa State guard and current Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton dropped a meme with a lyric from rapper Bankroll Fresh's track "Take Over Your Trap" after the Cyclones football team defeated in-state rival (and host) Iowa 20-19 on Saturday.

Iowa State walked into Kinnick Stadium on Saturday and left with a victory after Kyle Konrady nailed a 54-yard field goal in the final seconds. Konrady also hit a 46-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter.

The Cyclones trailed 13-0 at halftime, but the pass game got going in the third quarter. Jayden Higgins caught a three-yard score from Rocco Becht, who later found Jaylin Noel for a 75-yarder later in the frame. In between, Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson scored on his second touchdown run.

However, Konrady got it done late, and the Cyclones upset the No. 19 Hawkeyes. That certainly made Haliburton happy, and now Iowa State rolls into next week with a 2-0 record.
