As we countdown the days and weeks until the beginning of the Iowa football season, we’ll be previewing each of Iowa’s opponents in 2020. While the season may seem far in the distant, we’re currently 11 weeks from our first game week of the year.
Our second entry in our series of previews is Iowa’s Week 2 matchup against the in-state Iowa State Cyclones.
Iowa State Cyclones
2019 Record: 7-6 (5-4), T-3rd in Big 12
A season with high expectations for Matt Campbell and the Iowa State Cyclones finished in a somewhat deflating fashion, after suffering a loss at Kansas State to close the regular season, and a one-sided, 33-9 defeat against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Camping World Bowl to end the 2019 campaign.
