NIU, under new head coach Rob Harley and in their first year in the Mountain West, are rebuilding with a run-first, turnover-focused approach, still without a named starting QB. Iowa, meanwhile, boasts one of the best running back corps in a decade and faces questions at QB with Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski competing. The Hawkeyes’ defense, loaded with new starters, must contain NIU’s ground game. Kickoff is at 3:15 PM CT on BTN — a game that could set the tone for the entire season.
