IOWA CITY — A strange start to the season took a bizarre turn for Iowa as the Hawkeyes beat Nevada 27-0, a game that was halted three times due to lightning and did not end until after 1:30 Sunday morning. Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz says the locker room looked like a baseball clubhouse during the more than four hours of delays.

The offense made progress, in part because receivers Nico Ragaini and Keegan Johnson returned from injury.

The Hawkeyes open Big Ten play Saturday night at Rutgers.

Kickoff on Saturday is scheduled for 6 o’clock, with the pre-game at 4 o’clock on AM-1300 KGLO
