THE SCOOP​

Iowa State turned the page on a... tumultuous... offseason and opened the year with a 30-9 win over UNI. The Cyclones debuted a lot of new faces in that game, but they had little trouble with a UNI program that's made them sweat in more than a few season openers over the years. ISU opened up a 14-0 lead after the first quarter and led 23-0 at the half, pushing the lead to 30-0 in the third quarter before easing off the throttle for the remainder of the game.

The Cyclones also enter the Cy-Hawk game as holders of the trophy for the first time since 2015. Iowa made sure their time with the trophy was limited then, as the Hawkeyes began a seven-year (six-game; thanks 2020) run of dominance in the series that season. Iowa State is also seeking its first win over Iowa in Ames since 2011; the Hawkeyes have (somewhat improbably) won the last five games in Jack Trice Stadium.
