About this episode

CyHawk 2026 heats up as Iowa State looks to upset Iowa under the lights at Kinnick Stadium. Can Jaylen Raynor and a revamped Cyclone defense—now featuring a 4-man front anchored by Isaac Terrell—disrupt Iowa’s two-quarterback system and capitalize on special teams advantages? Iowa, led by explosive newcomer Tony Diaz and a physically dominant offensive line, seeks its first home rivalry win since 2018, but faces major questions at quarterback and on special teams.Trent Condon and Nick Marovitz break down Week 1 takeaways, debate each team’s biggest strengths and concerns, and preview what it’ll take for the Hawkeyes to pull away—or for the Cyclones to snatch another rivalry victory. Key matchups include Kamari Moulton’s ground game versus Iowa State’s defensive depth, the pivotal role of kick returners Aiden Flora and Pettaway, and how coaching changes could reshape the tradition-rich CyHawk showdown.Photo: USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10.SupplyHouse Visit https://SupplyHouse.com/TM to learn more about becoming a Trade Master.
