Nevada Football takes on Iowa Hawkeyes in the third week of the season. Iowa's offense is not very effective this year. Nevada's defense is very strong. The team has forced 11 turnovers in its first three games. The Wolf Pack's secondary is its best unit defensively. It's led by Tyson Williams and Bentlee Sanders. They are also the team's best tackler. Drue Watts, Maurice Wilmer and Naki Mateialona are the best linebackers.

Nevada's offense has struggled to find its footing. Iowa's defense and special teams are strong. Iowa is ranked in the top-10 nationally in scoring defense, total defense and red-zone defense. Nevada's defensive front-seven is experienced, spearheaded by All-Big Ten Honorable Mention defensive lineman Noah Shannon and preseason All American MIKE linebacker Jack Campbell. The team's secondary is made up of hybrid safety/linebacker Cooper DeJean and defensive end Joe Evans. They have a punter Tory Taylor. It's a game between the Hawkeyes and the Wilson Wolfpack.

Nevada football team is preparing for its biggest road test this year. Iowa is a capable team, but Nevada is still getting used to a new scheme.
