Hawkeyes Dominate Cyclones in 2021 Thriller | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Twenty years after 9/11, Iowa and Iowa State delivered a historic showdown — a top-10 clash with ESPN’s College GameDay in the stands. Iowa clawed back from a slow start, thanks to a game-changing interception by Matt Hankins, and surged ahead with a halftime touchdown from Spencer Petras to Charlie Jones. The defense sealed it with two more picks and a fumble return TD by Jack Campbell — extending Iowa’s series win streak to six games. Though Iowa’s offense stalled later that season, they still captured 10 wins and the Big Ten title, while Iowa State faded to 7-6 and unranked. Now, the Cyclones have flipped the script, winning three of the last four meetings. The next battle? September 12, 2026, at Kinnick Stadium — kickoff at 6:30 PM CT on NBC.
