Looking ahead to MT and Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Another first-time opponent awaits Middle Tennessee on Saturday.

The Blue Raiders (1-2) will travel to Iowa City, Iowa for the first time to take on the No. 14 Iowa Hawkeyes (3-0) in front of a national audience on ESPN2. It will be the third time this season MT has taken on an opponent for the first time, following games at Michigan and against Duke.

Iowa has College Football Playoff aspirations, but head coach Rick Stockstill and his Raiders are hoping to spoil them.

"Obviously, Iowa is a very talented team," he said.
