Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Utah State Aggies: TV, streaming, broadcast info for Week 1
The Iowa Hawkeyes play the Utah State Aggies on Saturday, September 2nd at 11 a.m. CT, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Iowa is coming into the 2023 season with a lot of anticipation and excitement in what could be one of their best chances to win the Big Ten West in its final year before realignment changes things. New quarterback Cade McNamara remains questionable but hopes to play while the Hawkeyes’ defense is eyeing down another dominant season.
Brian Ferentz, Iowa’s offensive coordinator, is tasked with the team averaging at least 25 points per game due to a new contract clause. And head coach Kirk Ferentz is looking to hit 10 wins once again.
First on the docket for Iowa is Mountain West Conference member, the Utah State Aggies. The Aggies finished 6-7 last year but they had an uphill climb most of the way. The offense was in the bottom quadrant in scoring offense and their defense gave up yards in bunches. They face the daunting task of heading into Kinnick Stadium for a season opener.
