Cy-Hawk Series History: The Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series tracks the annual head-to-head match-ups in each sport with each victory earning points toward the overall series championship. The Series also recognizes outstanding academic achievement by the school's student-athletes. The first sport match up for 2014 will be the annual rivalry for football which takes place on September 13, 2014 in Iowa City. The Iowa State and Iowa football teams have been playing each other since 1894, with a 43 year break until 1977 when the annual football game was resumed. The Cy-Hawk Series Trophy originated in 2004. The series is currently tied with both schools having won five titles each. Iowa State won the most recent series during the 2013-2014 school year. Neither school has won the trophy in consecutive years. Iowa leads the series in overall points with a 125-118 point advantage as of the end of the 2013-2014 school year. Academics were added to the competition beginning May 5, 2011, in Iowa City.
