A new coach and a dozen new players give the Hawkeyes a fresh face, starting Tuesday.
The Hawkeyes will host the nationally televised pregame show ahead of their home matchup against No. 6 Oregon.
The Cyclones (5-4, 2-4) collected three takeaways against the Sun Devils — one interception and two fumble recoveries — but still lost, 24-19, before a rain-sodden crowd of 60,899 at Jack Trice Stadium.

State cross country, Class 1A: An unforgettable day for South Winneshiek. Balanced girls’ team strikes gold, then emotion and determination fuel Hugh Conway to a boys’ individual crown.
North Linn’s football team limited Pekin to 45 total yards Friday night, and Will Sommerfelt threw three touchdown passes in a 21-3 road win in a Class A playoff second-rounder. That moves NL to the quarterfinals for only the fourth time in school history, with a trip to the UNI-Dome and the semifinals for the first time ever on the line this coming Friday night against top-ranked Saint Ansgar.
State cross country, Class 4A: Cedar Falls’ Jaden Merrick leads a pack of four sub-15 finishers in the boys’ race. Liberty’s Keegan Decker finishes third for the second straight year. Prairie is 4th in the boys’ team race; City High girls and boys are 7th.
