North Dakota State vs Iowa live stream: Watch Bison vs Hawkeyes online
Here’s how you can watch Saturday’s North Dakota State vs Iowa live stream from Iowa City online.
Iowa came into the season looking to put the Rose Bowl defeat against Stanford behind it. Kirk Ferentz led the Hawkeyes to a 12-0 regular season in 2015, winning the Big Ten West, but losing the title game to Michigan State before being blown out against the Cardinal to finish 12-2.
C.J. Beathard returns as one of the conference’s top quarterbacks and he has shown it through two wins. He has passed for 427 yards and four touchdowns, completing 67 percent of his passes. Matt VandeBerg remains his favorite target, catching 11 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown — all team-highs.
As for the run game, Iowa is impressing yet again. It seems like there’s a new rusher for the Hawkeyes each season who breaks out, but this year there are two quality backs. LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley are a dynamic duo, combining for 365 yards and six touchdowns on 46 touches.
Despite being the favorites, on paper, the Hawkeyes will have to face the toughest FCS foe in the nation, North Dakota State. The No. 1 FCS team in college football has won two overtime games to start the season and the Bison are coming off their fifth straight national title, a record for any level of football.

Stick has 105 rushing yards and a touchdown and King Frazier has 118 and two scores.
