FPI has them at like a 40% chance of making the CFP and in the top 4. You guys are that good. Not sure how Iowa stands any type of chance against you all and I am being serious. The more I think about this game the more I think Iowa loses by a score of 35-20.
Cy-Hawk Game This Year: Revenge or Just Shutting Up Their Idiot Fans?
- Thread starter RClone
- Start date
You split with them last year and return most of your team. ISU is the favorite in my eyes.
ISU is a top 5 -10 team preseason. No reason to expect they would lose to someone ranked below them at home.
Can somebody give an honest assessment of Iowa? Why are they being picked pretty high in preseason rankings? I was not overly impressed with their team last year from what I did watch, and Petras just looks very average. They lost a lot on the D Line as well.
Biggest thing for me this year has nothing with it being Iowa. We need to sweep non-conference to set us up for a historic season.
My nephew went to UNI but was/remains a rabid Hawkster. If Iowa loses...they had better put a suicide alert out on that dude from Marshalltown who screams phone calls in to Murph and Shmandy on KXNO.
They lost a lot on the DL, but they return some youth that can be decent if they put it together. Their back 7 on D returns and their LBs, Campbell especially, are very athletic and rangy.
Their OL should be very good this year and Goodson is a nice 3 down back. Their TEs are good also. Iowa is probably a 9-3 ceiling type team this year.
WR, DL, and consistent QB play are the questions at Iowa this year.
Predicting that game is impossible. There’s always, ALWAYS weird **** that happens in it.
I am sure the anticipation of our welcome for their lying whiny band will occupy KXNO tools for at least a month
Not like they will mention that little racism thing

Thanks for the breakdown. So basically stop the run, and make Petras throw. Good thing run defense is something we excel at
Past 5 years? eh prob not. Keep in mind Iowa has the luxury of missing Top teams in the conf almost every year...Iowa has played the best team in the conf (1) time in past 5 years? That is pathetic honestly.
ISU played for big 12 title and won NY6 game last year..Alamo year before. Iowa has done neither in past 5 years.
What really sucks is the 2019 game ISU truly dominated that game....9 hour rain delays and all. Oh well.
I'll be very surprised if ISU doesnt win this game this year..
Well we know how Kirk views this game. I agree the talent gap is very large between the two teams though
Jordan Canzeri fumbled in the 4th quarter of the 2015 game. That's the last TO by Iowa in the series.
And don't forget one win "not counting" because according to many hawk fans you have to score a TD to beat a team - never mind the scoreboard saying 15-13 for the Cyclones as time expired.
Long live Shaggy.
