Kirk Ferentz, new contract in hand, will try to end the week by showing the new guy, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, why the Hawkeyes keep giving him so much money.

Number 16 Iowa (1-0) will host the Cyclones (0-1) on Saturday, a week after dominating Miami of Ohio 45-21. Though the Hawkeyes weren’t perfect, especially in defending the run, the outcome was never in doubt.

Iowa State’s opener was all too familiar to beleaguered Cyclones fans.

Fears that the Cyclones inexperienced offensive line would stop them from running the ball effectively were realized in a 25-20 loss to Northern Iowa of the FCS .

Other matchups this weekend include Nebraska hosting Wyoming, South Dakota entertaining Weber State, and Minnesota home to Indiana State.
