The Iowa State Cyclones and Northern Iowa Panthers begin non-conference play at newly renovated Jack Trice Stadium in Ames this Saturday in their first in-state matchup since UNI's 28-20 win in 2013. And while Iowa State competes in the big-name Big 12 Conference and FBS, Northern Iowa's Panthers, runners-up in the FCS' Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2014, will look to overcome their lower division stigma and hand the Cyclones an seeason-opening home loss for the second time in three years.
Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET (Saturday)
