IOWA CITY, IOWA (Ticker) -- Iowa State matched last season's 3-0 start as Sage Rosenfels passed for 228 yards and ran for two touchdowns in a 24-14 victory over winless Iowa.

Rosenfels completed 16-of-27 passes and added scoring runs of one and eight yards for the Cyclones, who before last year had not started a season with three wins since 1981.

Iowa State posted its second straight road victory after ending a 28-game winless streak away from home with last week's 24-21 victory at Missouri.

Iowa State also recorded its third straight triumph over Iowa and cut the Hawkeyes' lead in the all-time series to 33-15. Before the Cyclones' current streak, Iowa had won 15 in a row over its rival.

J.J. Moses' 58-yard TD run gave the Cyclones a 7-0 lead just 1:59 into the first quarter. Iowa answered on the first of Scott Mullen's two TD passes, a four-yard strike to Kevin Kasper with 9:19 left in the period.

But Iowa State's defense took over, holding the Hawkeyes (0-3) out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. Mike McKnight's 22-yard field goal with 5:12 left in the first quarter and Rosenfels' one-yard plunge with 6:20 left in the second gave the Cyclones a 17-7 halftime lead.

Iowa closed within three on Mullen's eight-yard TD toss to Kahlil Hill 4:30 into the final quarter. Iowa State answered with a 10-play, 79-yard drive, going up 24-14 on Rosenfels' five-yard TD run.

Ernie Haywood paced Iowa State on the ground with 107 yards on 28 carries, while Moses had eight receptions for 94 yards.

Mullen completed 22-of-41 for 235 yards but was sacked four times. Ladell Betts rushed for 99 yards on 15 carries for the Hawkeyes.
