Instant Iowa State: Iowa State falls late to Hawkeyes in Cy-Hawk game

Matt Van Winkle and Ben Bruns react immediately after Iowa State's heartbreaking loss to Iowa in the Cy-Hawk game, joined by Chris Williams from the postgame coverage.

The Cyclones came within a field goal of beating Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, and the guys break down how Iowa State's defense completely disrupted the Hawkeyes' rushing attack. Iowa State's defensive line and linebackers played an outstanding game, holding Kamari Moulton and the Iowa offense in check for much of the night.

The crew also examines the biggest missed opportunities, including costly penalties, a fourth-quarter false start, missed throws, and the plays that could have put Iowa State in position to win the game. Despite the loss, the guys come away extremely encouraged by what they saw from Jimmy Rogers' first Iowa State team.

Matt, Ben and Chris discuss Jaylen Raynor's performance, the need for more explosive plays in the Iowa State offense, the emergence of the Cyclones' defense, and what the loss says about Iowa State's potential moving forward.
