How to watch Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Purdue Boilermakers on TV and livestream

At last, Iowa will kickoff a Big Ten Conference football season that was nearly pushed to the spring over concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead, the Hawkeyes travel to Purdue for a 2:40 p.m. Saturday opener that will highlight how unusual this nine-game season will be. Boilermakers coach Jeff Brohm has tested positive for the coronavirus and will not be on the sideline; instead, his brother, Brian, is the interim coach.

Either way, expect plenty of offense with the Hawkeyes a 3.5-point favorite in Las Vegas and an over/under points total set at 52.

Hawkeye fans will get a look at the beginning of the Spencer Petras era at quarterback. The redshirt sophomore from California will be making his first start as the replacement for the graduated Nate Stanley.
