The Hawkeyes get their bye week at the exact halfway point of the season after opening up with six games in six weeks. One notable scheduling quirk of Iowa’s schedule is that they will have just one Friday game in the standing Black Friday rivalry game against Nebraska.
Iowa will play seven home games at Kinnick Stadium, while making five road trips for away games.
