Iowa plays at Rutgers on Saturday night at SHI Stadium in the two teams’ respective Big Ten openers. Iowa (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) makes just its second all-time trip to Rutgers (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten).
In its previous trip in 2016, the Hawkeyes used a late, 26-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run from Akrum Wadley to beat Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J., 14-7. Then, in 2019, Iowa blanked Rutgers in Iowa City, 30-0. Now, the two teams meet for just the third time in series history.
“It’s our first Big Ten game, needless to say that’s important. First road game and then another night game. All those three things factored in, it’s a little bit different here, and playing a team that’s off to a really good start, Rutgers is playing well with a 3-0 record right now, and they’re playing well, so they certainly have our full attention,” Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz said.
Rutgers hasn’t won a Big Ten home game since Nov. 4, 2017, when the Scarlet Knights topped Maryland, 31-24. The Scarlet Knights will look to reverse that dubious bit of history in front of a sellout crowd when they welcome in the Hawkeyes.
Without further ado, here’s a look at how fans can watch, listen and stream Saturday’s Iowa game against Rutgers.
