Play nice in the comments. Will the Hawkeye defense simply take matters into their own hands and outscore the Wolfpack on their own? Will Kirk Ferentz finally pull the rip cord and give Alex Padilla a shot?

Live Update: 3rd Quarter; Nevada- 0 Iowa- 17 (247Sports)

The Hawkeyes are under the Kinnick lights for the first time this season as they welcome in the Nevada Wolf Pack. Iowa is desperate to find a spark and ...

The team’s penalty yards (40) and penalty yards per game (20.0) are both tops in the nation. It is the first time since 2018 that the defense has given up one touchdown in a two-game stretch. Iowa is running with a lot of reserves right now, so it'll be interesting to see who all gets into the mix. After a breakout 40-yard touchdown earlier, the Ohio native takes it 55-yards to the house for another Hawkeyes touchdown. 5:18- Iowa hasn't had the ball in four hours due to delays, but after a 57-yard FG miss, Iowa takes over. Redshirt freshman Deontae Craig followed that up with a sack of his own and Iowa will take over at its own 43. 10:02- A slow start to the second half by both teams. After Iowa attempted a deep pass to Brecht on first down, they went to Kaleb Johnson, who shoved off a few wimpy tacklers as he made his way to the end-zone from 40-yards out. A prime opportunity for the Hawkeye offense. Taylor punted it 62 yards into the end-zone for a touchback. Iowa is desperate to find a spark and consistency on offense and there's no better opponent for them to help them achieve that goal. 15:00- Nevada has won the toss and has deferred to the second-half.

While there was nothing happening on the field, the real entertainment took place on social media. Freshman running back Kaleb Johnson was starting to make his presence known with the offensive line gaining a bit of steam.

Iowa Hawkeye Football, The Morning After: The Evening Of (Black Heart Gold Pants)

Lightning brought a screeching halt to Iowa's best performance this year, so let's try to make sense of it before it has even ended.

It remains to be seen if this was not a one-hit wonder by BF, Petras, and company, but it’s the first ray of hope through the storm clouds in a long time. When Kirk is on the recruiting trail and tells kids they could play on Sundays I doubt this is what he had in mind. Throwing in the towel at midnight I got what sleep I could and finished up the game this morning. Petras looked better than he has in the last couple of games and the return of Ragaini and Johnson most definitely helped in the passing game. The NCAA rules governing a delay state that if a game cannot be finished due to weather the teams may, by agreement of ADs and coaches, postpone the contest to a later date, end the game by the current score, or declare a no contest. The offense really showed some signs of life in Spencer’s performance, Brian’s playcalling, and execution. Then God once again decided ten more minutes of football was just too much and sent the teams back to their locker rooms for the second time in one night. Both have taken plenty of heat so far this season, but at least in the pre-delay half of this game things were looking better for the beleaguered duo. It was Iowa’s longest longest play from scrimmage this year and just what the team needed to keep the soaked crowd energized. Nothing less than a good old fashioned shellacking of Nevada would silence the critics and reassure fans that this team was on the right track. The return of receivers Keagan Johnson and Nico Ragaini has been another big story this year. With each lightning strike, the 30 minute countdown gets reset, and a glance at the current radar shows a gigantic blob of green, yellow, and red stretching back to Des Moines, so there’s no telling when (or if) this game will resume.
