rivalry

The Augustana Viking Football program is out to a tremendous 7-0 start to the season.

Back and forth we go. The Iowa Hawkeyes won their opener over Utah State as the 25th ranked team in the country, but it wasn't enough for the AP Voters, as they dropped them out of the poll in Week 2.

The Key to the City game brought its fair share of storylines this past week across the region and the NSIC conference. Following the win for USF over Augustana, both teams have moved substantially in the newest rankings from the AFCA.

The South Dakota State Jackrabbit football program has been as solid as they come this season at the FCS level. After a close season-opening defeat on the road at Iowa, the Jacks enter their rivalry matchup with USD at 4-1 overall.

The Augustana Viking Football program will host this year's 'Key to the City' matchup against the USF Cougars on Saturday, what will be the 10th meeting since the rivalry renewed in 2012.

The Cy-Hawk game is as important of sporting event as any on the Iowa sports fan's calendar. On Saturday, the rivalry will play it's 69th ever game, set to kickoff at 3:00 from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
