Jimmy Rogers leads a revamped Iowa State team into his first Cy-Hawk game as Iowa keeps its starting quarterback undecided.
- On Saturday, Iowa State and Iowa meet in the 73rd Cy-Hawk game at Kinnick Stadium, with new Cyclones head coach Jimmy Rogers making his rivalry debut against Iowa coaching legend Kirk Ferentz in his 28th season.
- Both programs enter undefeated after convincing opening victories, with the Cy-Hawk Trophy remaining the central prize in a rivalry Ferentz described as 'Really for 20-plus years it's been a really competitive, tight series.'

- Rogers, who coached at South Dakota State, emphasized matching Iowa's physicality, saying 'We got to get ready to play a 60-minute game' to handle adversity during the high-stakes matchup.
- Raynor expects an amazing atmosphere when teams kickoff at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, though Iowa offensive lineman Jack Dotzler remains focused on the current season rather than rivalry implications.
