How to watch Iowa football vs. Washington today: TV channel, time

After picking up their first loss of the season last week to No. 6 Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium, No. 18 Iowa football (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) looks to bounce back in the win column as they travel to the Pacific Northwest to face Washington (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten) at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Wash., for another high-stakes Big Ten matchup.

In Iowa‘s 31-14 defeat to Ohio State, the Hawkeyes needed a near-perfect game on both ends of the field. Unfortunately, Phil Parker’s defense couldn’t slow wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who caught 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns. On the flip side, Iowa’s running game has posted two straight sub-100-yard games, a concern the Hawkeyes will look to address this week in Washington.

Washington is also coming off a loss, as No. 17 USC scored 15 unanswered points last week to pull off a 25-21 win over the Huskies at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Despite a 0-2 Big Ten record, Washington is a program Iowa cannot take lightly, as quarterback Demond Williams Jr.’s dynamic playmaking could trouble a Hawkeyes defense that has struggled to defend the pass over the past two weeks.
