PlayIA’s Jordan Hansen checked in with the Cy-Hawk camps earlier this year. Here’s an excerpt from his Iowa preview:
How does favored Iowa look ahead of the Cy-Hawk 2022 game?
Following a season that saw the Iowa football team make a surprise entrance into the Big Ten title game, hopes are high for the Hawkeyes to take a chance at a repeat appearance. The first step is Iowa spring practices.
Iowa returns 17 starters — including seven from its highly-touted defense — off a squad that reached double-digit wins for the second time in three years. The path back to the Big Ten Championship, however, toughens considerably this year.
The Hawkeyes get national title contenders Ohio State and Michigan during the regular season. Add that to the normal gauntlet of rivalry games against Iowa State and the usual suspects in the Big Ten West. Iowa gets:
- Ohio State on the road
- Michigan at home and
- three of their trophy games at home, including against the Cyclones. Iowa has won six straight in the series over Iowa State.
Why is Iowa State a Cy-Hawk 2022 underdog?
Hansen had Iowa State analysis as well:
Easily the biggest win for the program during the offseason was simply retaining Matt Campbell. He will be entering his seventh year at Iowa State. A number of programs courted the head coach but he stayed put in Ames.
Campbell is 42-34 at Iowa State and had the Cyclones at No. 7 to enter the season. But losses to Iowa and Baylor derailed early hopes of contention for a playoff spot.
Standout wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson returns, as does defensive lineman Will McDonald IV and offensive lineman Trevor Downing. In all, 22 players who have started at least one game for the Cyclones return this year.
Hutchinson will likely be catching passes from Hunter Dekkers. The former four-star recruit out of Hawarden, Iowa has played sparingly since joining the Cyclones. He completed 20 of 36 passes for 193 yards, tossing two touchdowns and an interception last year. He also flashed running the ball, notching four carries for 61 yards and a rushing score.
