Week 3: Iowa State

With the exhibition season out of the way, the Hawkeyes begin the meat of their schedule. Iowa State comes to Kinnick Stadium to attempt to make it two in a row over Iowa. A year ago, the favored Hawkeyes allowed five field goals, including one with five seconds to play to earn the win. The Hawkeyes scored their first points on an 11 yard TD run by QB Jake Christensen in the third quarter. It was the Cyclones first win of the season, and first by rookie Head Coach, Gene Chizik.
This week's game can be found on the Big Ten Network with former Chicago Cub play-by-play man, Thom Brennamen on the call. Gary Dolphin and Ed Podolak have the call on the Hawkeye Radio Network beginning at 11am.
It was announced today that Iowa's first road game at Pittsburgh will be an 11am start on either ESPN or ESPN2, September 20.
