Ames, Iowa — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says his team must execute at the critical times against Iowa.
The ninth ranked Cyclones host the 10th ranked Hawkeyes on Saturday looking to snap a five game losing skid in the series.
Campbell says the first chore for the Cyclone defense is to slow down Tyler Goodson and the Iowa ground game.
The recent history of this series has been close games and Campbell says his players are used to these kinds of games.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says experience is an advantage for the Cyclones.
Ferentz says playing in a hostile environment will be a new experience for a lot of his players.
Ferentz says it is difficult to prepare for a road test.
Kick off is at 3:30 pm
