Oregon State and Oregon will face off in a nonconference football game for the first time in decades, with Oregon now in the Big Ten and OSU seeking its future direction. Meanwhile, Iowa State rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit to stun Iowa in their annual Cy-Hawk rivalry game, showcasing a resilient defense that kept the Hawkeyes to just two field goals from promising drives. Key moments included Iowa's Kaleb Johnson's 27-yard touchdown run and a missed 41-yard field goal by ISU's Kyle Konrardy. The Cyclones' defense was pivotal, limiting Iowa to six points on two red zone possessions.
