Iowa hits the road for its second-to-last road contest of 2022 today when it travels to Ross-Ade Stadium to take on Purdue.
The Hawkeyes (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) would jump back above .500 with a win. Iowa would also take a giant leap forward toward ending this season the way fans were hoping it might play out like all along with a victory over Purdue (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten).
It’s the reunion with former Iowa wide receiver Charlie Jones. The 6-foot, 188 pound receiver already has 72 catches for 840 yards and nine touchdowns. Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz said he’s not surprised at all with Jones’ ascenscion.
Ferentz also touched on the respect he has for the Boilermakers, for head coach Jeff Brohm and the type of challenge Purdue will present earlier this week during his meeting with the media.
“Great respect for Coach Brohm, his players. Done a great job since he’s gotten there. Not just a matter of them being good offensively, which they are, but they’ve upgraded their program in all three areas. They play well defensively, on special teams, on offense as well.
“We haven’t had much success the last couple outings against them, so that’s a goal of ours, to try to change that. Big challenge on our hands. They’re coming off a bye, so they should be well-rested and prepared. I’m sure they will be. We’re going on the road. A road challenge for us,” Ferentz said.
Iowa will look to buck recent history against Purdue, including last season’s 24-7 loss when the Hawkeyes were ranked No. 2 nationally. Purdue has won four of the five matchups with Brohm coaching.
It’s a huge game for the Hawkeyes’ bowl aspirations. Without further ado, let’s take a look at how Iowa fans can watch, stream and listen to Iowa at Purdue. Also, here’s a final look at the injury report for both.
