Episode Description

For the first time in more than a decade, Iowa State has won three out of four Cy-Hawk football matchups.

The Cyclones' latest victory in the series came Saturday in a 16-13 win. The Hawkeyes still lead the all-time series 47-25, but the Cyclones' run of success begs the question: Has ISU's football program overtaken Iowa's?

Beat reporters Ethan Petrik and Ben Hutchens answer that question and analyze Saturday's game on Sunday's edition of CyHawk Talk.
