What time and channel is Iowa playing today? The Hawkeyes want to get going

The Iowa Hawkeyes will face Michigan State in East Lansing for the first time in 2017. The Hawkeyes haven’t beaten the Spartans since their last trip to East Lansing, and after a big win over Washington in Week 7, they’ll be hoping to keep things going.

The offense is running better than it has in many seasons, and a big part of that is thanks to the play of running back Kaleb Johnson and the playmaking of offensive coordinator Tim Lester. Head coach Kirk Ferentz brought Lester in to take over and call plays in the offseason after relieving his son Brian Ferentz of the job.

Quarterback Cade McNamara didn’t play quite as well as fans would have liked, throwing his first touchdown pass since Week 1 against Washington and his first touchdown pass against a power conference opponent since 2021. Even though the quarterback game wasn’t great, the Hawkeyes have found new life on offense through Johnson with 12 total touchdowns this season and have the second-most rushing yards by a running back so far this season.

Playtime

Iowa and Michigan State begin at 6:30 p.m. CT and 7:30 p.m. EST. This is Iowa’s first late-game start since the game against Minnesota three weeks ago and just their second late-night game this season.
