Iowa and Iowa State football face off on Saturday, Sept. 6, in the latest version of the Cy-Hawk rivalry.
The in-state foes almost always provide a competitive game, regardless of where either program stands entering the nonconference matchup. Iowa State is looking for its second consecutive win against Iowa, and first at home since 2011.
Iowa has won seven of the past 10 matchups against the Cyclones, and has seen tremendous success in the past away from Iowa City, Iowa, in the game.
Iowa State needed a 54-yard field goal from Kyle Konrardy in the final seconds of the matchup last season to defeat its in-state rival. The 2025 game is shaping up to be another competitive affair.
