I believe this is called brand awareness? Really great article, and really cool to see where this team is at currently
Just looked at cyclones.com and a quick rough count is about 70+/- Left.
Don't get intimidated by their rushing numbers, they haven't done anything particularly notable running the ball in the Big 12 and especially against putrid Florida. Their very spooky averages are hugely inflated by their games against G5 and FCS schools where they put up ~400-450 yards rushing. They're averaging well under 200 yards rushing per game against power opponents. If we copy the playbook from the WVU game we will destroy these guys. In games where they ran less than 200 yards they have lost. That will be the key. Big game for the D line and the depleted LB room. I trust our secondary to get it done although I do expect we will let a big pass go down the field once or twice especially in the first half.

They aren't running for 200 on us.
I was worried about this game prior to the season. Still think UCF is due for a "figure it out" game, but I don't see that happening in Ames. 31-20 ISU; won't feel as close as the scoreboard will say.

And I wouldn't be shocked if we win by more.

FWIW, According to accuweather.com, it's not going to be even slightly cold at any point during the game.
By Iowa standards, to call it chilly even is a stretch. Maybe with the wind you might be somewhat glad you're wearing a sweatshirt. Well, except @CoachHines3 who will be in his skin suit next to your mom.
This stat should help ease the minds of the "we might overlook UCF" crowd. Looks like Campbell has never overlooked an opponent at home.
