Iowa State hosts Iowa this afternoon, in the 63rd meeting in the series. The Cyclones have won three of the last four and coach Paul Rhoads says of all the key matchups it starts up front. In terms of individual matchups one of the most interesting will be Cyclone sophomore tackle Jake Campos against Iowa senior defensive end Drew Ott.

ISU has the home field advantage but the road team has won the last three games.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Cyclones have an experienced offense and an improved defense that has several new faces. Ferentz says the Hawkeyes must find a way to defend the Iowa State receivers.

It is also the first road test of the season for the Hawkeyes which Ferentz says is always a challenge. Iowa leads the all time series 40-22. Pre-game coverage on KJAN begins at 1:30-p.m., with the kickoff slated for 3:30-p.m.
