The Cyclones received the opening kickoff and started strong, dominating the first half of play. On the fifth play of the game Austen Arnaud rushed for the games first touchdown, a 53 yd scamper around the left side, but the play was nullified due to an illegal procedure. The Cyclones drove down to the NIU 26 where the Huskies held. A Grant Mahoney field goal attempt was missed wide left. The Huskies took the ball, driving to the ISU 32 where the Cyclones' Defense stiffened, creating a 4th down situation. A field goal attempt by the Huskies was no good. They Cyclones' taking over on downs drove on an 11 play, 68 yds, finding the endzone on a 2-yard run by QB Austen Arnaud, for the first score of the game. The score stood 7–0 at the end of the first quarter. The Cyclones took the ball back on a Zac Sandvig interception on the first play of the second quarter. On the next play, Robinson raced 63 yds for his first touchdown of the night. The extra point would make the score 14–0. After a three and out by the Huskies the Cyclones took the ball back over on a punt at their own territory, driving to the Huskies' 23 yd line before stalling. Grant Mahoney made a 41-yard field goal to push the Cyclone lead to 17. The Cyclone defense held strong on the next Huskies' possession, forcing a punt. The Cyclones took over and drove over 40 yards into Huskie territory before fumbling the ball, returning possession to the Huskies. The Cyclone Defense again flexed it's muscles holding for a three and out taking the ball over on a punt deep in their own territory. Austen Arnaud would be picked off on the resulting drive setting up the Huskies with excellent field position right before the half. Again, a strong Cyclone Defense stiffened holding to three plays setting up a fourth down field goal attempt for the Huskies at the ISU 16. Coach Paul Rhoads would ice the Huskies on twice before the 33 yard attempt failed (as did the previous two attempts). The Cyclones took a 17–0 lead into the half.
