WHAT'S AT STAKE?

The

KEY MATCHUP

Iowa linebackers Jack Campbell and Seth Benson vs. Iowa State running back Breece Hall. The Cyclones are likely to play with multiple tight ends and hammer away with their All-America tailback. Hall and the running game had a sluggish performance last week with 69 yards on 23 carries. Benson led the team in tackles with 10 against Indiana and Campbell, at 6-foot-5, 243 pounds, is quite literally built for this type of game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Iowa QB Spencer Petras: The second-year starter completed only 48% of his passes in the blowout of Indiana last week. Everything else was clicking for the Hawkeyes so it didn't matter.

Iowa State TE Charlie Kolar: Watch to find out if he plays. The All-American missed last week's game and Iowa State coaches have sounded optimistic but far from definitive about his status this week.
