Area Teams Attack Week 3

Another busy weekend for area college football teams finds most looking for a second win while Iowa hopes to go 3-0.

The Hawkeyes (2-0) and Pittsburgh (2-0) find themselves in much different spots heading into Saturday’s matchup at Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz is one of the nation’s longest-tenured coaches. But Ferentz has shaken things up in his 17th season in Iowa City, with a new-look offense and fake field-goal tries in each of Iowa’s first two games.

Pitt has yet another new coach in Pat Narduzzi, who stymied Iowa and the rest of the Big Ten as the defensive coordinator at Michigan State.

Nebraska(1-1) plays its first road game at 2-0 Miami of Florida while South Dakota (1-1) plays its first home game against 1-1 Drake.

Minnesota (1-1) plays host to 1-1 Kent State and Iowa State (1-1) will be on the road at 1-0 Toledo.

South Dakota State has an open date this week.
