Iowa State center Trevor Downing says the Cyclones have cranked up the noise at practice this week as they get ready for Saturday’s 69th meeting against Iowa. ISU is hoping to handle the noise of Kinnick Stadium and avoid pre snap penalties.

Iowa’s defense registered two second half safeties in last week’s 7-3 win over South Dakota State.

Downing says a key will be helping sophomore quarterback hunter Dekkers get off to a good start.
