Spain carried the ball 16 times and averaged 4.5 yards per rush in his first start at running back this season.
Jaylen Raynor scored the first touchdown of the game on a 7-yard run with a little over 10 minutes left to play in the first quarter giving ISU the lead.
Following a SEMO punt, Raynor completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Vince Benetti on the second play of ISU's next possession to put the Cyclones ahead, 14-0, with 2:27 to go.
Braylen Ragland's 40-yard completion to John Anthony, Jr. moved the Redhawks to ISU's 10-yard line. Two plays later, Montana State transfer quarterback Chance Wilson ran seven yards to the end zone making it a 14-7 game with 10:39 remaining in the second quarter.
The Cyclones responded with 14 more points.
Ragland was sacked on a fourth-and-1 and ISU took over on downs at SEMO's 40-yard line.
A 20-yard pass from Raynor to Omari Hayes set up an 11-yard touchdown run by Aiden Flora at the 4:54 mark.
Ragland was then intercepted by Beni Ngoyi and that turnover later resulted in a 10-yard touchdown pass from Raynor to Easton Miller extending the Cyclones lead to 28-7 at the half.
ISU tacked on three points with a 33-yard field goal by Kyle Konrardy in the third quarter before Raynor finished off the scoring with a 7-yard run giving the Cyclones a 38-10 advantage with 10:41 left in the fourth quarter.
SEMO's other points came before that when Justin Keller made a 40-yard field goal at the 13:20 mark. For Keller, it was his fourth field goal of 40 or more yards this year.
Raynor had a hand in four of ISU's five touchdowns. He completed 8-of-16 passes for 184 yards and two TDs and rushed for 32 yards and another two scores.
Defensively, the Cyclones forced three turnovers and had six sacks in the game.
ISU also outgained SEMO, 303-209, in total yards.
Ragland threw for 142 yards on 17-of-22 passes.
LJ Minner, Jr. led the Redhawks defense with five tackles and a sack.
The game was delayed a half-hour due to lightning in the Ames area.
SEMO returns to action when it makes the short trip to #25 Southern Illinois for the War for the Wheel matchup on Sept. 12.
