Saturday is going to be LOUD & a BLACKOUT at Kinnick Stadium. Fans are encouraged to wear black for the game which will be nationally-televised on ABC with Dave Flemming, Chris Speilman, and Todd McShay on the call. Saturday's Kickoff is set for 2:30. The Players & Iowa Coaching Staff have requested the fans to be loud to get Kinnick ROCKING!!! The weather's gonna be much warmer than we've seen in over 10 days with a high near 50.

"You have to love it," said senior linebacker Quinton Alston. "ABC game... 2:30 p.m.... a great team coming to Iowa City; you have to love these opportunities and make the most of it. I can't wait for it."

The Hawkeyes have their eyes on the Big Ten prize, which is a berth to the league championship game Dec. 7 in Indianapolis. "We know how close we are, and we feel we can do it", said senior wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley.

The Badgers sit atop the Big Ten West Division standings with an 8-2 overall and 5-1 league record, one game ahead of Iowa, who is 7-3, 4-2. The Hawkeyes need home victories over Wisconsin and Nebraska to close out the regular-season and a loss from Minnesota to advance to championship Saturday in December.
