Iowa State QB Becht Shakes Off Helmet-to-Helmet Hit, Quickly Returns to Game
4 Oct
Summary
- Iowa State QB Rocco Becht took a hard helmet-to-helmet hit
- Becht was evaluated in the medical tent but returned to the game
- Becht was previously evaluated for a head injury in the prior week's game
On October 4, 2025, Iowa State University's football team faced off against the University of Cincinnati in a highly anticipated matchup. During the second quarter of the game, Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht took a hard helmet-to-helmet hit that resulted in a personal foul and targeting call against the Cincinnati defender.
Becht appeared to be in pain after the collision, and he was quickly evaluated in the medical tent. However, the quarterback only missed a couple of plays before returning to the field. Unfortunately, Becht was soon sacked upon his return, leading to a missed field goal attempt by his team.
This was not the first time Becht had been evaluated for a head injury. The previous week, during Iowa State's Week 5 win against the University of Arizona, Becht had also been checked for a potential head injury near the end of the game. But like this latest incident, he had been able to continue playing.
Despite the physical toll, Becht's resilience and determination to stay in the game have been a testament to his leadership and commitment to his team. As the Cyclones continue their season, all eyes will be on their quarterback to see how he bounces back from these recent injury scares.
