How is Iowa State football approaching its first Cy-Hawk game under coach Jimmy Rogers?
Iowa State football coach Jimmy Rogers has openly expressed his enthusiasm and the intensity of the upcoming Cy-Hawk rivalry game to his team and fans. The Cyclones hold a 47-25 advantage over the Hawkeyes in all-time matchups, but Rogers emphasizes that the significance of the game lies not only in the scoreboard but also in the players' emotional state and ability to handle adversity.
Both teams have shown strong defensive performances in their recent Week 1 victories, with Iowa State recording six sacks and two turnovers, while the Cyclones held off allowing a first down until the second quarter. The Hawkeyes will present a challenge with their physical defensive line and dual quarterbacks, Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski.
Rogers stresses the importance of executing plays better than the Hawkeyes and making plays on defense to emerge victorious.
