## Resource

Cy-Hawk Week is here, and InCYde Zone is breaking down everything you need to know before Iowa State travels to Kinnick Stadium! Jacqueline Cordova, Jirehl Brock, and Jake Remsburg react to Iowa State's 38-10 win over Southeast Missouri to open the Jimmy Rogers era. The crew breaks down the first look at the new-look Cyclones, including Jaylen Raynor, the running back room, Iowa State's defensive line, Benny Ngoyi's incredible one-handed interception, and the early signs of what this team could become. They also discuss the biggest question marks from Week 1, including Iowa State's offensive line, quarterback accuracy, the wide receiver and tight end rooms, and which players can emerge as the Cyclones' top playmakers. Then it's all about the Cy-Hawk rivalry. What makes Iowa vs. Iowa State different for players? How much does coaching experience matter in this rivalry? Can Iowa State's aggressive defensive line give Iowa problems? And what will it take for the Cyclones to pull the upset at Kinnick? Jirehl and Jake also share stories from their playing days, including the intensity of Cy-Hawk Week, trash talk between players, memorable Iowa State-Iowa moments, and what it's like playing in one of college football's biggest in-state rivalries. Plus, the crew gives their most irresponsible Cy-Hawk predictions! Presented by Wyffels Hybrids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
