Episode Description

College football is in full swing, and so are the injuries.

Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski has a bye week to recover from a knee injury before Iowa plays at Wisconsin on Oct. 11.

The Cyclones don't have the luxury of a bye to adjust after big losses in their secondary. Corners Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams are both out for the season with ACL injuries. ISU will rely on Lindenwood transfer Tre Bell and redshirt freshman Quentin Taylor Jr. to lock down the corners of the defense. 

Beat reporters Ethan Petrik and Ben Hutchens discuss the latest storylines with the Hawkeyes and Cyclones on CyHawk Talk.
