AMES, Iowa -- Sophomore Zeb Noland started at quarterback Saturday for Iowa State in the Cyclones' 37-27 loss to No. 5 Oklahoma, filling in for injured starter Kyle Kempt.
Kempt, a sixth-year senior who led the Cyclones to a win at OU in his first career start a year ago, suffered an injury in the second half of last week's 13-3 loss to Iowa.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said Kempt will also miss next week's game against Akron.
Noland threw for a career-high 360 yards and a pair of long touchdown passes to Hakeem Butler for the Cyclones (0-2, 0-1)
Prior to Saturday's game, Noland had started one game -- a victory at Baylor last season. He also took over for an injured Kempt against Oklahoma State last year and threw for 263 yards, the fifth-best passing performance ever by an ISU freshman.
Kempt, a former walk-on, did not participate in warmups ahead of Saturday's kickoff. He has a streak of 151 passes without an interception, only five away from the school record.
