Time for Cy-Hawk chatter
Saturday's game is 2:30 p.m. on ABC
Let the hype begin.
Iowa and Iowa State are both 1-0 heading into their annual showdown, but it’s hard to gauge the progress of either team following comfortable wins.
Here’s my quick take:
The Hawkeyes and Cyclones each have a good group of receivers. You just don’t hear as much about Darius Darks and company.
The two A-Robs (Adam and Alexander) hit their stride.
Iowa’s patchwork offensive line was good enough to dominated Eastern Illinois, but I liked what I saw in the Cyclones’ front five on Thursday.
Iowa will have a clear edge on the defensive front line. Iowa State’s showed some spunk against Northern Illinois, but the Huskies are not a great passing team.
Another edge for the Hawkeyes is special teams, at least from what I saw.
Feel free to disagree.
The Cy-Hawk chatter is just getting started.

I’m gonna say that it doesnt matter what offensive line Iowa uses. Iowa State will not be able to get through. And even if they do, Kirk and Ken will definitely have an answer. As for defense, Norm shouldnt have a problem nullifying the rushing offense of ISU. That has become Iowa’s forte, as for the passing game, I’m not so sure. Sash and Greenwood have been solid, but after the punt fake, Micah Hyde got cought napping twice in a row. Other than that drive, Iowa’s pass defense was little less than stellar. As long as Iowa keeps their heads in the game, it should be a relatively easy win. Regardless, it’s gonna be a great game come saturday.
