Who will win the big game?

“Iowa State. Iowa State’s gigantic receivers will pick on the Smurf corners from Iowa. Iowa State wins 27-21.”

—Brent Blum, sports columnist

“Iowa. The Hawkeyes deep, talented pool of backs and receivers and Drew Tate’s arm wear out the ISU secondary. Late field goal seals it — 34-24 Hawks.”

—Brett McIntyre, senior reporter

“Iowa State. Last week was a Cyclone wake-up call. This week, the team will be ready to play.”

— Grant Wall, sports editor

“Iowa. Iowa State’s poor performance on Saturday puts Iowa as the statistical favorite. Close game, but the Hawkeyes win.”

— Pat Brown, assistant sports editor
