The stage is set in Iowa City as the Hawkeyes prepare to host the Cyclones in the 2024 installment of the El Assico Cy-Hawk series.
After a slow start, the Iowa Hawkeyes appear to have developed a functional offense this season, complementing their historically strong defense. Meanwhile, the Iowa State Cyclones kicked off their season with an impressive 71-yard touchdown drive against North Dakota, but struggled to maintain momentum, managing only two more scoring plays in the following 59 minutes and 22 seconds.
This year’s matchup adds a layer of intrigue as the Cyclones contend with several injuries on their defensive line. The big question remains: can the Hawkeyes outpace Iowa State, or will they once again face a disappointment as they strive for victory?
