The Iowa State defense expects to face an improved Iowa passing game when the teams collide for the 72nd time in Ames on Saturday. The Hawkeyes rushed for 310 yards in a 34-7 win over Albany but managed only 48 yards through the air.

That’s ISU linebacker Caleb Bacon, who hopes to experience a victory over the Hawkeyes on the field. He missed last year’s 20-19 win in Kinnick Stadium due to injury.

With FOX Big Noon Kickoff coming to Ames the Cy-Hawk series continues to garner more national attention.
