After what felt to many like an eternity, Iowa State Football is finally back. No more talk of gambling, no more talk of what could be, and no more talk of what was a chaotic and tumultuous offseason. We’re all about the here and now, and here and now, we have Iowa State football kicking off the season with a home game. The UNI Panthers came to Ames, Iowa hoping to sour the taste of all the Ames Lager one could hope to drink, but thankfully for those 61,500 fans in the stands, the Cyclones stepped up to the challenge.
