It’s game time in Iowa City!

The Hawkeyes will host the Cyclones in the 2024 El Assico Cy-Hawk Series!

It took a half to get things moving in the right direction, but it looks like Iowa actually has an offense to pair with their always incredible defense this year. On the other end of the line, the Cyclones started strong in their opener with a 2-play, 71-yard touchdown drive against North Dakota. Things seemed to stall from there, though, with just two more scoring drives in the final 59 minutes and 22 seconds.

To add to the drama this year, the Cyclones enter the day with numerous injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Could the Hawkeyes Actually Outsmart Iowa State? Or will we once again be tempted to make a throw at the ball, only to have Lucy snatch it away at the last moment?

We’ll find out soon enough when the Hawkeyes host the Iowa State Cyclones at Kinnick Stadium! The only thing we know for sure is that it’s going to be weird and there’s going to be no shortage of drama!
