Tracking the Storm Ep. 2.21: BYU Fallout, QB Questions & the Road to a Bowl
Where do the Cyclones go from here? Chris and Keith break down Iowa State’s loss to BYU, an offense struggling to find answers and a defense that kept fighting. With a bye week ahead, is it time for a quarterback change—or can simpler reads, better execution and a stronger downfield passing game turn things around?
The guys go game by game through the remaining schedule, debate a possible 7–5 finish and map out a path to bowl eligibility. Plus, Big 12 power rankings, BYU’s fourth-down gambles, a salute to Cyclone legend Troy Davis and some hilarious reminders of why neither host should tackle home improvement projects.
Honest takes, Cyclone pride and plenty of laughs on Tracking the Storm, part of Iowa’s Independent Podcast Network, 3 Beards Media.

Should the Cyclones make more use of their quarterback’s running ability? The guys also discuss the team’s fight to get back in the game, what gives them hope for the rest of the season, and the reaction to former Cyclones at Penn State.

Tracking The Storm: EP 2.20 Eight Years at Kinnick: Cyclones Roll in the Opener & Cy-Hawk Week Begins
Iowa State football is back — and the Cyclones opened the season exactly how they were supposed to: with physicality, pressure and domination.
On this episode of Tracking the Storm, Chris and Keith break down Iowa State’s season-opening win, including a defense that flew to the football, piled up six sacks and forced three turnovers. They discuss the early signs of the new era, the increased aggression and physicality, and why this team may have a much higher ceiling than people expect.
Then it’s officially Cy-Hawk Week.
Keith looks back at playing, coaching and experiencing the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry firsthand, while Chris brings the receipts: Iowa hasn’t beaten Iowa State at Kinnick Stadium since 2018. They revisit memorable Cy-Hawk moments, the history and hatred behind the rivalry, and why this matchup means so much more when neighbors, friends and families live it 365 days a year.
Plus: opening-week college football chaos, questionable officiating, a brutal Michigan controversy, the changing traditions of college football — and Chris’ absolutely terrible attempt at shotgunning a beer.
