    In The Cye of the Storm: EP 5.21 CyHawk Heartbreaker: Defense Delivers, Offense Disappears

    Iowa State’s defense came ready for a fight, but the offense couldn’t finish the job in a 16–13 CyHawk loss at Kinnick Stadium. Dave Larson, Cyclone great Brent Curvey and Iowa State legend Marcus Fizer break down a dominant defensive effort, Jalen Raynor’s struggles through the air and an offense that managed just 50 yards after its early third-quarter field goal. Was this simply a young team learning how to win, or should Cyclone fans be concerned? The crew discusses whether Iowa State is ahead of schedule, what must change offensively and what they want to see against Bowling Green.
