Iowa has a chance to make a statement. Iowa State sits idle.
Week four of the college football season could reveal a lot about Iowa with a matchup at Rutgers on Friday (7:05 p.m. FOX) and something about the respect No. 12 ISU gets in the AP Poll as the Cyclones sit idle.

1:25 Can Iowa’s passing game maintain what it did against UMass?
2:30 Iowa’s questionable running back situation
6:19 This is a “Prove it” game for Iowa
8:45 Re-ranking the most difficult games on ISU’s schedule
10:28 Iowa State might have a kicking problem
13:35 How much respect will an idle Iowa State get in the AP Poll?
