Williams & Blum: Cy-Hawk Preview, Keys To Victory against Iowa

Chris Williams and Brent Blum break down Iowa State's biggest game of the young season: Iowa State vs. Iowa at Kinnick Stadium. The guys discuss Jimmy Rogers' approach to the rivalry, why this game is different from a normal matchup, and how important a strong performance could be for the new Iowa State coaching staff. CW and Blum dive into the biggest keys for the Cyclones, including Jalen Raynor's ability to avoid turnovers, Iowa State's offensive line, the matchup between Iowa State's defensive line and Iowa's offensive line, and whether the Cyclones can stay ahead of the chains against Iowa's defense. Can Iowa State's defense keep the Cyclones in the game? Can Jalen Rayner make enough plays? And can Iowa State survive the first half and take the pressure back to Iowa in the fourth quarter? Plus, Williams & Blum look around the Big 12 and discuss the conference's massive Week 2 slate. Williams & Blum presented by Mechdyne. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
