Who could be the surprise hero for the Hawkeyes during the Cy-Hawk matchup

The Hawkeyes and Cyclones have had many memorable moments over the 71 seasons the teams have matched up on the gridiron.

In 2017, the Hawkeyes won 44-41 in overtime thanks to the heroics of quarterback Nate Stanley.

The triple overtime thriller in 2011, where the matchup went back-and-forth all game, but was finally heartbreakingly won by the Cyclones.

Over the years, the games have been extremely close, including the last three games that have been decided by seven points or less in each game.

You never know what you are going to get when these two teams take the field, but what we do know is that you can throw out rankings and home-field advantage.
