Iowa football secured a 16-13 victory over Iowa State in the Cy-Hawk game on Saturday night. The matchup was marked by a strong fourth-quarter performance from the Hawkeyes, who executed two scoring drives and stifled Iowa State's offense, forcing two three-and-outs. Despite the win, Iowa's coaching staff faces challenges, especially with an underperforming offensive line and play-calling from offensive coordinator Tim Lester. The Hawkeyes will look to build on this performance as they prepare for upcoming Big Ten play.
