To the victor go the spoils.
In Iowa State football kicker Kyle Konrardy’s case, “the spoils” are 54 boxes of Pop-Tarts. On Tuesday, the Football Writers Association of America named the redshirt freshman’s last-minute 54-yard kick to beat Iowa the Pop-Tarts “Crazy Good” Play of the Week.
As a prize for Konrardy, the Pop-Tarts Bowl, which annually features a team from the Big 12 taking on a team from the ACC, sent Konrardy plenty of pastries to keep him and his teammates fueled throughout the upcoming bye week.

“Fifty-four boxes for 54 yards. Kyle Konrardy “Pop-Tarts Crazy Good” Play of the Week,” Konrardy said, reading a note in a video posted on the Cyclones’ Twitter/X account. Teammates surrounded him and celebrated.
The Cyclones (2-0) also changed their profile picture on X. Instead of a celebration shot from the team’s Cy-Hawk win over its biggest rival, they opted for something more subtle. Now, whenever Iowa State football posts something, followers are greeted with a photo of Konrardy staring at the camera, holding about 13 boxes of pop tarts.
Iowa State and the Pop-Tart king take the field again on Sept. 21 when they welcome Arkansas State to Jack Trice Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
