Listen "Sunday Rewind: Week 1 Reaction | CyHawk Talk | Sept. 1"
Episode Synopsis
The taste in the mouths of the Hawkeyes and Cyclones after Saturday is distinctly different.
Both Iowa and ISU defeated FCS opponents in their home openers. Iowa beat UAlbany 34-7 while ISU routed South Dakota 55-7.
Iowa's offense struggled to throw the ball with new quarterback Mark Gronowski, while Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht completed 19-of-20 passes in a 55-7 rout.
Iowa reporter Ethan Petrik and Iowa State reporter Ben Hutchens react to games in a Cy-Hawk Talk rewind show.

1:28 Iowa State played like it wasn’t in Ireland last week.
3:50 So far, the Cyclones haven’t shown an improved pass rush.
5:26 Could Aiden Flora be a third running back option for ISU this season?

10:55 That was a dud of a debut for Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski.
13:37 Iowa’s defense got gashed by a running quarterback.
