On the ensuing play, excessive blocking by Hakeem Butler, who almost put his knee on Blake Lynch’s throat, led the big scuffle to break out where Roberts punched Montgomery.
The Cyclones running back apologized for his actions after the game.
First I would like to apologize to cyclone nation and my team for my actions, Me as a captain should have not reacted the way I did and I sincerely apologize for that!!! But I will defend my brothers no matter what and i stand on that!

It’s unclear whether he will be suspended for the first half of Iowa State’s next game.
