It is Cy-Hawk time and this year has a bit of a twist in the narrative surrounding it. There are some players out for each squad due to gambling allegations and investigations.

The Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones are each dealing with some starters not playing and are utilizing their depth to overcome it.
