The Battle for The Cy-Hawk Trophy (AKA, “¡El Assico!”): Iowa (1-0) vs #16 Iowa State (2-0) (12PM ET, FOX)

[TrueOrange]

Iowa State looks to keep its season rolling in the 72nd meeting of this classic corn rivalry. While Iowa leads the series 47-24, Iowa State have won 2 of the last 3 meetings, including last year’s 20-19 matchup.

Meanwhile, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz - in his 27th year at the program - looks to pass Woody Hayes’s record for all-time total wins with a Big Ten program, sitting at 205 going into today’s matchup.

An often interesting matchup, since 2017 this matchup has been determined by a single score (with 5 of those last 7 final scores being a difference of 3 points or less).

The winner gets the Cy-Hawk Trophy




…not to be confused with the original trophy used through 2010




….or its brief replacement made after 2010…which I don’t know what this trophy designer was thinking…other than “corn”
