AMES, Iowa—For the second time in three years, Iowa State will host ESPN’s College GameDay built by the Home Depot on Saturday, Sept. 11, ahead of the Cyclones’ home football game against the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series showdown against Iowa. Kickoff for the sold-out game, which will air on ABC, is set for 3:30 p.m. (Central).

“It is a tremendous privilege to host GameDay twice in three years and a testament to the incredible job Matt Campbell, his staff and student-athletes are doing on and off the football field,” said Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard. “This will be a tremendous opportunity to showcase Iowa State University, our football program and fans to a national audience. I am confident that our fans will again show out for this special event, just as they did two years ago.”

Iowa State is one of five on-campus sites that have hosted the program twice since 2019, joining Georgia, Clemson, Penn State and Minnesota. ESPN first aired the show in 1987 from its studio, and made its first on-campus appearance in 1993 in South Bend, Ind., ahead of the match-up between No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 1 Florida State.

ESPN’s College GameDay, the network’s signature college football pregame show, begins at 8 a.m. (Central) on ESPN. The set will again be located South of MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium in the grassy area between the Sukup End Zone Club and Reiman Gardens. The three-hour show features Rece Davis (host), Lee Corso (analyst), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst), Desmond Howard (analyst), Gene Wojciechowski (contributor), David Pollack (analyst/contributor), Robert Griffin III (analyst/contributor), Chris “Bear” Fallica (researcher/contributor) and Jen Lada (contributor).

The No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes cruised past No. 18 Indiana in a 34-6 rout on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.Riley Moss ran two first half interceptions back for touchdowns to lead the Hawkeyes to a big first half lead and ultimately to victory.

Tyler Goodson led the offense with 99 yards and a score on 19 carries. Spencer Petras threw for 145 yards and ran for a touchdown. Sam LaPorta caught five passes for 83 yards.

Indiana quarterback Michael Pennix was inaccurate in his return to the lineup after a season ending injury late last year. He threw a total of three interceptions on the day and was just 14-31 passing on the day.

Iowa now prepares for a road trip to Ames for the CyHawk game with Iowa State.

The Atlantic Trojans fell to the Kuemper Catholic Knights on Friday night 34-0 at Carroll Stadium. It was a very tight game for a little over half of the contest then mistakes started to compound for the Trojans.

Carroll scored on the opening drive of the game with a 48-yard touchdown run from Taye Vonnahme to go up 7-0. That score held until the second half. Atlantic turned the ball over on an interception on their first drive of the second half. 9 plays later the Knights scored on a 1 yard plunge by quarterback Cooper Pottebaum to go up 13-0. The two teams traded a few punts and then Taye Vonnahme ripped off another long run. He rumbled 64-yards on the opening play of a drive with just under a minute left in the third quarter to make it 20-0.

Troubles compounded from there for the Trojans. Atlantic had a bad snap on a punt attempt their next possession and gave the ball back to Kuemper on the 22 yard line. A few plays later Vonnahme fumbled the ball into the end zone but lineman Carter Pudenz got on top of it for another Kuemper TD. Atlantic threw an interception on the first play of the ensuing drive and Kuemper punched it in on another Vonnahme touchdown run to make it 34-0, and that would prove to be the final score.

Atlantic falls to 0-2 on the season and will head back home to the Trojan Bowl to host Shenandoah next week. Kuemper Catholic moved to 1-1 and will travel to face Greene County in week 3.
