Impact Hansen's hot streak continued as he has now run for over 100 yards in five straight games. It was a windy day at Oklahoma State, so it led to Iowa State leaning heavily on their running game against the Cowboys. Hansen is just 50 yards away from logging his first 1,000-yard rushing season. He'll have the opportunity to hit that milestone in a bowl game for the Cyclones.

Fourth straight 100-yard game Hansen totaled 22 rushes for 120 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all four targets for 32 yards during Saturday's 38-14 win versus Kansas.

Impact Hansen recorded his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game as Iowa State dominated Kansas. Hansen did briefly leave the game with an injury, however, was able to return. With 841 yards rushing, there's a good chance that Hansen will be able to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing as they have one final regular season game against Oklahoma State and a bowl game. Hansen is an excellent fantasy play against the Cowboys as long as he's healthy.

Impact Hansen has reeled off three straight 100-yard rushing performances and has become the center of the universe for the Iowa State offense. QB Rocco Becht has struggled with nine interceptions over his last seven games. In the Cyclones' remaining two regular season contests, look for Hansen to see heavy volume. The 28 carries at TCU were a career-high for the running back. Iowa State is off next week before hosting Kansas in Week 13.

Huge day against Cougars Hansen recorded 16 rushes for 152 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for eight yards during Saturday's 41-27 loss against Brigham Young.

The 152 yards were a season-high and it was the second time this year that he racked up two touchdowns in a single game. On 95 carries in the 2025 season, he's averaging a healthy 5.3 yards per carry and is the best playmaker for the Cyclones. He'll get another chance to shine when Iowa State hosts Arizona State next week.

Back at 'full strength' Hansen (concussion) is back at full strength for Iowa State, per Eugene Rapay of the Des Moines Register.

Impact Hansen missed Week 7 against Colorado, but the tailback appears to be trending in the right direction after the Cyclones' bye. Hansen looks slated to play against BYU on Saturday afternoon, especially given that head coach Matt Campbell described him as at "full strength."

In his stead, expect Abu Sama to assume lead back duties.
