Iowa State travels to Kinnick Stadium for the annual CyHawk Game against No. 21 Iowa on Saturday. The game doesn't make or break a season. It's all about bragging rights in the state. It's also an early measuring-stick game for teams that won openers against FCS opponents. The Iowa offense, under new coordinator Tim Lester, got rolling in the second half against Illinois State. Now it goes against one of the Big 12's top defenses the last five years. The Cyclones managed only 21 points against North Dakota and faces a defense allowing just 16.6 points per game since 2016.
