The Iowa Hawkeyes open the Big Ten race Friday night at Rutgers. The Hawkeyes are 2-1 and coach Kirk Ferentz says there are plenty of challenges heading in.

In Iowa’s first road game two weeks ago at Iowa State it took the offense a quarter and a half before it put together a scoring drive. Ferentz says they will need to do a better job of adjusting if they get looks from Rutgers they were not expecting.

Las week the Hawkeyes missed a P-A-T, a field goal and had a punt blocked. Ferentz says those kinds of mistakes in Big Ten play will be tough to overcome.

Ferentz feels Iowa’s struggling pass game made progress in last week’s win over UMass.

Kickoff is 7:05pm, Iowa time. The game will be televised by FOX. You can also hear the game on KJAN!
