Summary
The Cy-Hawk rivalry is heating up this year, with Iowa State looking sharper and Iowa City electric—perfect conditions for players to step up under the lights. Iose Epenesa, who’s been quiet early, is primed to explode as Iowa’s defensive line gets more reps in the heat. With Iowa’s run defense locking down and forcing Iowa State into passing situations, Epenesa could be the catalyst. Iowa State’s run game struggled last week, averaging just over three yards per carry, making their offense vulnerable against Iowa’s stout front seven. Meanwhile, Iowa’s goal-line offense needs fixing—but with a key back sidelined, they’ll lean on play-action and precision passing, aiming for three touchdowns and dominating the red zone.
