caught touchdown Iowa What A Catch by Ed hle what a grab by Ed hle he laid out prown to the ground and Tate threw it where nobody else could get it but Ed hle well now that's a throw that very few quarterbacks could make cuz he just feathered it out there where only hle as you said could get to it he ran under it Dove great Athlete on the catching in and that's a big play for the hawkey As Nice a pass as it was that was all Ed hle for the six points Tate and hle connected four times for 61 yds and took advantage of starting Cyclone right cornerback Ellis Hobs a breather in the second quarter to outrun backup quarterback Lamarcus Hicks but the quarterback's only touchdown of the game but it was big as the Hawks held on to beat the Cyclones 17 to 12 what names from the past babano Abdul HJ

senx is proud to celebrate University of Iowa football fuel your fandom with your favorite snacks from your local senic station Hawkeye Pride powered locally Iowa State coach Matt Campbell started his ninth year in Ames last week guiding the cyclone to a 213 victory over North Dakota red shirt sophomore quarterback Roco Beck targeted star wide receivers jayen null and Jaden Higgins 13 times with 13 completions for 210 yards and two touchdowns how aggressive does the game plan get today with the 21st ranked Hawkeyes on that Stout defense in a soldout kennick stadium Campbell says it's a delicate Balancing Act it's our first road game of the year which I think is you know if we want to be the team that we want to be at the end of the football season you got to win on the road and you know I think we started to learn how to as a young football team last year by the midpoint to the end of the season we really learned what it takes and what are some of the things that you have to do when you play on the road that are different than playing at home um so you know you know you're going into a hostile environment obviously you're going into a game that has a lot of hype around it from the outside and you know the the ability to block that out and the ability to understand that to win on the road it's going to be about those precision and details moments it's going to be about man playing our style of football and can you do that against a really good opponent and that I think that's the beauty of playing a big game like this early in the football season because you hope you're continuing to play big football games as the season goes on and you know the be be able to teach and learn and grow from that I think it's it's huge and um like I said I think so many of our young guys got that experience a little bit in this game a year ago to understand what that feels like what what this bring G what this game can bring to the table and and how do you navigate you know what did we do really well last year what didn't we do well and then obviously how do we move ourselves forward defensively the Cyclones are without their linebacking leader Caleb bacon who suffered a lower leg injury last week and underwent surgery Campbell hopes to have bacon back before the end of the year the coach mentioned there's still plenty of experience in the room you know I mean you got Jack Sadowski started every game last year um you know Cooper evil played a ton of football for us as a as a young freshman a year ago um you know really from our standpoint there's guys that have played a lot of football um there that we need to continue to play John cerman played really good in the football game played a lot for us last year in a lot of different situations so I I I still look at that group and and you know even from the game itself I thought as the game went that group settled in um you know we we tried to be aggressive with that group early on and do some different things but I think as the group went in you know Zack love played a pretty good football game as the game went on and so I think they just settled in and played what their roles were but again Youth and and so but I I'm I'm really optimistic about what that group's got the ability to be and and certainly continue to become last week Iowa's defense allowed 189 yards of total offense forced three turnovers and pitched its first shutout season opening shutout since 2005 tackled Aaron Graves registered three of the four hawkey sacks Matt Campbell says Little Else Matters if you don't protect the football yeah you I I I think the biggest thing for you know Rocco in general is is you know having at least a baseline understanding because you're going against going against our defense in all the fall Camp to making a big shift to certainly a different style of defense and you know I I think that that shift is something that you know having that year of experience and seeing not only that defense from you know from Iowa but seeing it from multiple different teams we played last year um you know it certainly allows you to have confidence to know and what are my answers what are the challenges this defense can present how do I do a great job taking care of the football what do all those things look like and feel like so um I definitely see that as a positive again at that position where you're handling the football at all times I think critically important what they do such an incredible job of is you know they they knew they know who they are defensively they have answers to you know when it gets put in Conflict how to create an answer to you know the conflict that gets created um and that comes with great experience and and honestly great fundamental and detail the Cyclone defense notched three sacks and six tackles for loss and won the turnover battle with North Dakota thanks to safety Bo freer's third quarter interception quarterback Kade mcamera is well aware of how solid that Cyclone secondary is no one gets you closer to the game than Sirius XM Big 10 radio tune in for News Talk and Analysis from the offseason through the regular season and

another segment of the pregame warm-ups as we get ready for Iowa and Iowa State this is the University of Iowa Sports Medicine injury update with Dr Brian wolf we'll get to the Hawkeye injuries hopefully a lot of good news coming as we talk about our topic today and Brian let's talk about Stingers we hear the word we uh you can kind of visualize a player coming off the field with one what is the injury yeah so a stinger is kind of a layman's term for you know a little stretching injury to the the nerves as they come out of the neck and kind of across the top of the the shoulder area by your collar bone and and it can be that things got pinched or it can be that there's been some stretching and it usually relates to how the player got hit with their head you know usually their head kind of gets hit and they get jerked back and so there's some stretching and and even some pinching sometimes that leads to uh you know some temporary tingling or numbness or even weakness down into their arm but typically a player can get back into the game not really a long-term injury well it really depends on the severity so you know we we don't let them go back in unless they have all of their strength back um and we do some examination of their to make sure that we aren't concerned that there could be anything else going on more serious uh but they're relatively common in the the typical scenario as you see somebody kind of coming off shaking their arm and you know 5 10 minutes later as long as their strength and feeling is all normal we'll let the them attempt it but it is one of those things that can kind of pile up so if it's if it's happening over and over we're going to cut it off and let things rest and get better well this place is ready to go isn't it it's hopping for sure yeah Dr Brian wolf on the University of Iowa Sports Medicine injury update and for the Hawkeyes um thankfully got out of last week in pretty good shape Seth Anderson wide receiver who did not play last week will not play against Iowa State today still dealing with a leg injury is hopeful for next week against Troy also linebacker Jaden Montgomery who has played on some special teams I gave it a go last week will not play today um unrelated to an injury uh Jazz Patterson Hawkeye running back is dressed today after not playing last week due to a coach's decision for Iowa State we'll kind of focus in on the linebackers is Iowa had a very good camp injury-wise Iowa state had numerous injuries and um many of those are still taking place but the big news last week for the Cyclones and really at that linebacker position Caleb bacon outstanding player for the Cyclones a lower leg injury against North Dakota will not play for several weeks and that's 40 starts and 60 career tackles out of the Iowa State lineup also linebacker Will mofin will not play he's got 30 career starts he is um week to week but Iowa state does get back their Sam linebacker in kale brazina

State they played through some bumps in the road indeed most notably the penalty Flags in the first half but the second half was much better Coach fence said he could see the composure in his guys as Iowa scored on five of six possessions sparked by the engineering of quarterback Cade mcnamer the running game led by Caleb Johnson and the arrival of fresh freshman from Rock Rapids reys vandery who caught a couple touchdown passes you know he's a guy that we really had high hopes for and thought maybe he would have an opportunity to help us this year and compete but you never know till you watch a guy for four weeks and uh every day he was out there he just did a good job solid doesn't get real high or low with anything and uh works hard makes Improvement and you know Corrections from whatever he does the day before and uh just just really has a great attitude and so it was really good to see him out there perform the way he did uh you know I'm watching from afar but it didn't look like it was too big for him and you know made made some really aggressive plays too which is really good to see so we're we're really thrilled about his start you had to breathe a sigh of relief or or enjoy watching Kade mcnamer especially in the second half once the penalty Flags got eliminated uh I was really impressed with his pocket presence his sensing of Blindside pressure uh he really moved around well and and spread the ball around yeah it was really good to see and and uh first half you can't say as much I think was pressing a little bit and you know maybe got in a hurry and you know did some things at times that didn't help himself or a situation but I agree with you I think in the second half he looked very comfortable he was really doing a lot of good things out there and you know quite frankly it looked like the first time he's looked like that since 21 when he was playing healthy for uh for Michigan so it was really good to see him uh play with confidence and just kind of play with composure and uh looked like he's you know enjoying it too I I couldn't tell I'm much standing there but uh looked like he's enjoying things and you know that's the way it works when you get a little confidence and get into a rhythm defense did what it it always seems to do that is forc turnovers uh Kaden with a great punt return called back by penalty but that doesn't nullify what he did and I guess the point is you you really did play complimentary football yeah I think kayen really did a nice job he was aggressive in the punt return game and uh and and to your point yeah the defense did their their usual great job they really um you know minimized the rushing game and uh did a good job you know in the pass versus the pass came up with the takeaway and um and on top of it I think you know U you mentioned the penalty that that was a big part of the first half too when you talk about offensive football it's it's hard when you you know just fall starts obviously holding penalty those kinds of things pretty much they're not necessarily Drive Killers but they make the odds a lot lot tougher so it's hard to have good sustained offensive play when you have penalties it was really reminiscent of our first scrimmage uh back on Kids Day in August and uh we had a bunch of penalties that so uh it's was good to see in the second half us eliminate those I think we had one for five in the second half and you know everything just kind of came together so it was really really good to see that and hopefully that'll carry over into this game yeah indeed and today's a different animal with the Cyclones uh they're they're always tough on defense physical they're they're veteran they got a great secondary let's start with their defense what concerns you about this Iowa State outfit this year yeah really since Coach Campbell showed up I mean they they've been a good defensive football team especially you know once they got through the first year John H hcock the defensive coordinators has really done a nice job there and they've been good each and every year and uh I think you know if you look at them they're they're big guys up front and they uh Crow the line a little bit with their linebackers you usually one or two guys in the box but they're a little bit different and that they uh play with three safeties and usually one of those safeties you're not sure which one's going to show up in there as as a linebacker type player and I would have to start number 17 he he to me is like their you know the leader of their defensive football team really good player and very very active so we're going to have to be able to com for him today to to have a chance to move the ball offensively Rocco bre his first full season as a starter he really flashed last year they've got their deep at running back led by Sama and uh you were mentioning those receivers they target him 13 times last last week 13 receptions yeah so I mean you let's start with uh the quarterback and also i' throw the tight end and the Freshman tight end but the quarterback that was his second game last year I I was just really impressed with his Poise for being a young player uh just the way he I thought he did a really nice job of control control wise and now you know he's a veteran he's played an entire season so he he's a good F player good thrower and they've got good guys to throw to in the tight end I reference was a true freshman uh last year and I thought he he made some really big plays tough plays against us last year so you know there are two players on the interior that you know you really got to be concerned about then the receiver Corp uh they have three three really good receivers two of them are carryovers and one guy they picked up from North Dakota State uh good size good run after catchability and uh you know they're a threat when they you and they'll throw the ball down the field uh they can go up and get it and they've got that size Advantage with guys on the outside so it's a real challenge to defend them that would be senior 64 Jaden Higgins an all Big 12 performer he caught five passes last week and Jaylen no who grabbed eight each with a touchdown from quarterback Roco Beck who was precise to say the least with 20 completions and 26 attempts for 267 yards thanks to Kirk fence he's sponsored by H ganics Midwest as a
