IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz understands the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series rivalry because he has been a part of more than 1/3 of the all-time meetings.
Saturday will be the 63rd encounter between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones on the football field. It will be game No. 26 for Ferentz in the heated in-state affair.
“It has been a great series through the years, and it is an exciting football game for all of our players that grew up in the state of Iowa,” Ferentz said Wednesday inside the All-American Room in the Stew and LeNore Hansen Football Performance Center.
