AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State will be looking to get off to a fast start this season. That’s been a problem in coach Matt Campbell’s first five years. The Cyclones are 2-3 in openers under him. Northern Iowa is the opening opponent Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. The Panthers have been a traditional power in the Football Championship Subdivision.

They’ve beaten Iowa State three times since 2007.
