TEs have hurt Iowa lately. Maxx Williams at Minnesota and ISU's E.J. Bibbs last year come to mind.
The TE at Iowa State is new. Much like Illinois State, who lost there 2014 TE to the K.C. Chiefs in the draft.

The chess match in Ames should be interesting. Points are the goal. Iowa needs to roll in the point column.
Lately, low scoring games are often ISU's mantra. The absence of TEs should be a concern for Iowa, but a relieve as the Iowa defense looks to pin their ears back and hopefully put some pressure on Sam B Richardson. Last year, he was dinged and effective ...
Of course, they took the 2011 game from a 27-27 stalemate to pay dirt in 3 OT.
2003 - Iowa scored 40 points W
2005 - ignore and flush that one
2007 - Iowa lost 13-15, with the 5 FGs for ISU
2009 - Iowa scored 35 points W
2011 - Iowa lost, after 27-27 first 60 minutes
2013 - Iowa won 27-21 ... dominated for 3 quarters
Last year, Iowa lost 20-17, but lead, 14-3 at half?
Iowa needs to roll. Can they is the concerns of many. Heck, we no 3 Iowa Rivals fans are picking the Cyclones.
peace
