A rough-and-tumble Big Ten collision kicks off Week 4 of the 2025 college football season Friday night as the Iowa Hawkeyes visit the Rutgers Scarlet Knights . Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET from SHI Stadium in Piscataway, N.J.
The Scarlet Knights (3-0) have been efficient on both sides of the ball amid their undefeated start and are coming off a 60-10 victory over FCS opponent Norfolk State last weekend. They are hoping to avoid a repeat of last year in which they started 4-0 followed by a four-game losing streak and a late-season surge to become bowl eligible.
