## Resource

Iowa’s biggest game yet hits Kinnick Stadium this Saturday as the Hawkeyes face off against Iowa State in the 73rd edition of this heated rivalry. Both teams opened the season with wins, but Iowa is bringing out all the stops—black uniforms and former star QB C.J. Beathard as honorary captain—to ignite momentum. Beathard, who led Iowa to a perfect regular season and ranks seventh all-time in passing TDs, beat Iowa State twice decisively and holds the rare record of winning his first 13 starts. With QB competition still brewing between Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski, Beathard’s presence could be the spark Iowa needs. With a sold-out crowd roaring for victory, this isn’t just another game—it’s a chance to channel old magic and claim bragging rights.
