How to watch Iowa vs. Iowa State with and without cable: Full streaming guide
One of the most lopsided rivalries in recent college football history, Iowa and Iowa State will face off at 3:30 p.m. ET at Kinnick Stadium on CBS. The Hawkeyes have dominated this matchup, winning eight of the last ten games of this in-state battle and losing only once since 2016, though that happened the last time the Cyclones played as the away team.
Iowa's typically weak offense reached new heights in their season opener, defeating Illinois State, 40-0. After surpassing the 40-point mark only once in 2023, doing so early this season, especially with the changes to their offensive scheme, could be a sign of things to come. However, Iowa State will present a much tougher challenge than the Redbirds.
Head coach Kirk Ferentz was suspended for the previous game due to a recruiting violation. With his suspension now over, he'll be back in charge for the Cy-Hawk game.
Meanwhile, the Cyclones also secured a victory in their season opener, defeating North Dakota, 21-3, so both teams will now aim to stay undefeated in their nationally televised matchup on CBS.
