AMES, Iowa — More than two years after the last Cy-Hawk game, the rivalry returned Saturday with No. 10 Iowa defeating No. 9 Iowa State 27-17. It was the first time the teams played each other as ranked opponents, but the sixth straight time Iowa won the matchup.
ESPN's "College GameDay" even returned to Ames for the occasion.
Iowa had 173 total yards, five penalties for 50 yards, no turnovers and 32 minutes of possession.
ISU had 339 total yards, four penalties for 25 yards, four turnovers and 28 minutes of possession.
The Hawkeyes turned those four takeaways into 20 points, ran their overall winning streak to eight games and their winning streak against ranked teams to five. Iowa has not won that many in a row against ranked opponents since 1960.
Iowa State was favored by four-and-a-half points after a 16-10 win against Northern Iowa last week. Iowa rolled Indiana in a ranked showdown last week, 34-6.
