Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael both topped 130 yards rushing to lead No. 18 Texas A&M to a 33-17 win at Iowa State on Saturday.

After falling behind 7-3, the Aggies (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) scored 27 unanswered points, the last of which came on Michael’s 9-yard burst up the middle to put them on top 30-7 early in the third quarter.

All of Texas A&M’s scoring drives lasted less than four minutes, as Gray, Michael and quarterback Ryan Tannehill routinely picked up big chunks of yardage on the Cyclones’ struggling defense.

On Iowa State’s first three drives, starting quarterback Steele Jantz found no rhythm, missing on all four of his passes and tossing an interception that led to a Texas A&M field goal. Looking for a spark, coach Paul Rhoads replaced Jantz with freshman Jared Burnett, who led the Cyclones on a 9-play, 83-yard touchdown drive on his first possession to give his team an early 7-3 lead.

After that it was nothing but trouble for Iowa State (3-4, 0-4 Big 12), which has lost four in a row after going 3-0 in its non-conference schedule.

Tannehill had two touchdown passes for Texas A&M, which has won three in a row since blowing huge second-half leads in back-to-back losses to Oklahoma State and Arkansas. One of those touchdowns went to Jeff Fuller, who had seven receptions to top 200 in his career.

The Aggies moved to 10-1 all-time against Iowa State.
