CW Pod: Iowa vs. Iowa State Is HERE! Jeff Woody & Chad Leistikow Break Down the Cy-Hawk

Cy-Hawk Week is finally here, and Chris Williams is joined by Jeff Woody and Chad Leistikow to break down the biggest questions surrounding Iowa vs. Iowa State! Jeff Woody takes an in-depth look at Iowa State's first game under Jimmy Rogers, including the new defensive scheme, the Cyclones' aggressive defensive line, Jaylen Raynor, the wide receivers and tight ends, and the biggest concern on offense: an offensive line that is still trying to find the right combination. Chris and Jeff also dive into how Iowa State's new-look defense matches up with Tim Lester's Iowa offense, including Iowa's dominant rushing attack, the importance of penetration against Iowa's outside-zone scheme, and whether the Cyclones can create enough negative plays without giving up explosive runs. Then Chad Leistikow joins the show to break down Iowa's dominant 40-0 win over Northern Illinois, Kamari Moulton's breakout performance, Iowa's offensive line, Tony Diaz's impressive debut, and the ongoing quarterback battle between Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski. The guys also discuss Iowa State's potential to pressure Iowa, the importance of the first quarter, turnovers, special teams, Kinnick Stadium at night, and the pressure on both sides heading into the Cy-Hawk rivalry. Can Iowa State's defense keep this game close? Can Iowa's offense establish the run? And can the Cyclones take advantage of the mystery surrounding Iowa State's new-look offense?
