Iowa prepares for revamped Iowa State roster in Cy-Hawk football game

Summary

Iowa faces a significantly changed Iowa State team in this weekend’s annual Cy-Hawk football game. Following a major program overhaul, new head coach Jimmy Rogers leads the Cyclones, who look different after several key players followed former coach Matt Campbell to Penn State. Iowa enters the contest looking to avoid a third consecutive loss in the series. The Hawkeyes must prepare for several newcomers, including quarterback Jaylen Raynor and defensive lineman Isaac Terrell, who both arrived via the transfer portal. Kicker Kyle Konrardy remains a central figure for Iowa State, having secured game-winning field goals against Iowa in each of the last two seasons. The matchup serves as a significant test for the Iowa offensive line and defensive front as they encounter a roster largely unfamiliar to the Hawkeye program.
