Cyclones Eye Cy-Hawk Upset | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa State stunned with a 38-10 win to open the season, but the real test arrives Saturday as they head to Iowa City for the fiery Cy-Hawk Rivalry. The Hawkeyes also dominated their opener, shutting out Northern Illinois 40-0, making them heavy favorites — but don’t count out the Cyclones. Their pass defense, which racked up six sacks and twelve tackles for loss last week, could disrupt Iowa’s still-unsettled passing game. Plus, kicker Kyle Konrardy, who’s already nailed game-winners against Iowa, and a strong return game could turn momentum in favor of the underdogs. With special teams battles looming large, this could be more than just another rivalry game — it might be the upset that defines the season.
