Iowa Hawkeyes host Iowa State Cyclones in Cy-Hawk rivalry

The No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes are set to host their in-state rivals, the Iowa State Cyclones, for the 73rd meeting in the Cy-Hawk Series at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, September 12.

Both teams enter the matchup with 1-0 records following Week 1 victories. Iowa secured a 40-0 shutout against Northern Illinois, while Iowa State defeated Southeast Missouri State 38-10. The game marks a significant transition for the Cyclones, who are entering the rivalry under first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers following the departure of Matt Campbell to Penn State.

Iowa enters the contest as a heavy betting favorite, with lines ranging between 13.5 and 14.5 points. While Iowa leads the all-time series 46-25 (or 47-25 depending on the source), Iowa State has won the last two meetings in Iowa City. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on NBC.
