The team that won Cy-Hawk is sputtering. The team that lost is surging. 

That's the quirky nature of a college football season as Iowa State has lost two consecutive games following a 24-17 loss to Colorado. Iowa got back on track with a blowout win at Wisconsin and is still in contention for the Big 10 Championship.
