Ames, IA (Sports Network) - Steele Jantz threw for a career-high 381 yards and tied a school record with five touchdown passes as the Iowa State Cyclones dismissed the Baylor Bears, 35-21, in a Big 12 Conference bout at Jack Trice Stadium.
Jantz also tied a school-record for completions by going 36-of-52 passing for Iowa State (5-3, 2-3 Big 12), which snapped a two-game losing skid. Jarvis West caught seven passes for 99 yards and was on the receiving end of three Jantz's touchdowns strikes.
For Baylor (3-4, 0-4), Nick Florence completed 31-of-51 passes for 426 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, marking the sixth time this season he's passed for at least 300 yards and the second times he's topped 400 yards.
