Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson scores a touchdown during a football game between Iowa and Illinois State at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024. The Hawkeyes defeated the Redbirds 40-0. Johnson was responsible for two of the teams touchdowns.

No. 21 Iowa football will host rival Iowa State in the 71st annual Cy-Hawk game on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes have taken seven of the last eight matchups, with the only loss occurring two years ago in a 10-7 heartbreak in Iowa City. Both squads are 1-0, having yielded a combined three points to their FCS opponents Illinois State and North Dakota last week.

Iowa leads the all-time series, 47-23, but has averaged less than 200 yards of offense against the Cyclones over the last three years. After piling up 40 points in Week 1, new coordinator Tim Lester and the Hawkeye offense will look to repeat such a performance on Saturday.
