The Hawkeyes defense dominated last season and remains largely intact, while the offense looks to have made some much-needed improvements.

- Iowa are 6-0 in the last 6 home games against Iowa State
- The Under has cashed in each of the last 5 meetings
- The Under has hit in 9 of Iowa’s previous 10 games
Head To Head
- Iowa lead the all-time series 47-23
- Iowa won 20-13 when the two teams last met in September 2023
Iowa State Form
Iowa enter this matchup looking to build on last week’s win and reclaim the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
The Cyclones kicked off their campaign at home last weekend and did not give up a touchdown as they beat North Dakota 21-3.
It was a decent start to the season for a team looking to improve on a seven-win campaign in 2023.
Iowa made a slow start to the season, but improved over the final couple of months to win five of their final seven games, including a 42-36 upset of ranked Kansas State in the regular season finale.
That was enough to earn the Cyclones a Bowl Game invite, but they failed to claim the Liberty Bowl as they were beaten 36-26 by Memphis.
Iowa Form
Iowa come into the game looking to follow up a blowout Week 1 win and retain the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
The Hawkeyes opened with a 40-0 victory over Illinois State, with the defense dominating like it did in 2023.
The biggest development was the improvement on offense, which is a welcome sight after that unit struggled for much of the 2023 campaign.
Iowa made it all the way to the Big Ten Championship Game on the strength of their defense, but failed to put up a single point as they were beaten 26-0 by Michigan.
The Hawkeyes then failed to score a point in the Citrus Bowl, as they were shut out in a 35-0 defeat to Tennessee.
Verdict
Iowa once again look dominant on defense, but this time around the offense is showing promise.
This makes them worth favorites against an Iowa State team that spluttered offensively a week ago and have a rough recent record in the Cy-Hawk Trophy rivalry.
