November hasn't been kind to the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones, giving just one win (Iowa's win against Wisconsin) and taking away Heisman Trophy and perhaps College Football Playoff hopes. What do the Cyclones need to do to stop their losing streak and how will the Hawkeyes best use their bye week? Beat reporters Ben Hutchens and Ethan Petrik give their thoughts on the biggest issues facing each team.
