The 1-0 Iowa football team will welcome Iowa State to Kinnick Stadium on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Cy-Hawk football game hasn’t been held in Iowa City since 2018, when the Hawkeyes beat the Cyclones, 13-3.

Iowa State enters this weekend’s contest 1-0, fresh off a win over Southeast Missouri State. The Cyclones lost starting running back Breece Hall and quarterback Brock Purdy during the offseason. Both Hall and Purdy left Iowa State to pursue careers in the National Football League.

Sophomore Hunter Dekkers is the Cyclones new starting quarterback. Junior Jirehl Brock is Iowa State’s No. 1 option at running back.
