Zach Lutmer talks facing Iowa State and their passing game.

The Iowa pass defense will certainly be stepping up on class on Saturday when they face the Iowa State passing game. Led by Rocco Becht, who is coming off a sterling 19 of 20 for 278 yard performance against South Dakota, the Hawkeyes will have their hands full with the Cyclones talented group of receivers, led by three very impactful tight ends.

Two of the players that will be tasked with slowing down the Cyclones on Saturday will be Zach Lutmer, who will be playing the Cash position and Deshaun Lee, who is starting at cornerback. They both spoke to the media on Saturday and Lutmer in particular was interesting because he might have to deal with their massive tight ends in the passing game. They both discussed facing Becht and the Iowa State passing attack and the need to limit allowing explosive plays by the Cyclones.
