Add The New York Post on Google Only one team can take home the 2026 Cy-Hawk Trophy.
Tonight, we’ll find out if it’s Hank Brown’s No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes or Jaylen Raynor’s visiting Iowa State Cyclones at Kinnick Stadium.
In Week 1, Iowa shut out Northern Illinois 40-0 behind two first-quarter rushing touchdowns from Kamari Moulton who ran for 50 yards on the first one and 37 on the second.
Iowa State was nearly as dominant in their opening contest, winning 38-10 over Southeast Missouri State. Raynor completed eight of 16 passes for 184 yards and a pair of successful tosses into the end zone.
Ahead of tonight’s showdown, the Hawkeyes are projected to win by 13.5 to 14.5 points, which would be huge after the team’s heartbreaking defeats in 2024 and ’25.
And, while we can’t say for certain how the game will shake out, it’s almost certain the energy will be electric.
“It’s extremely loud there,” said Cyclones head coach Jimmy Rogers. “It being a night game, there will be extra energy inside of the stadium, which is awesome. This is what we all kind of envision in college football.”
