Iowa City – Good afternoon Hawkeye fans, and Happy “Blackout” week! The Hawkeye football team has a monumental challenge awaiting them at 2:30 pm on Saturday when they host the #3 Ohio State Buckeyes at Kinnick Stadium. Fans in Kinnick Stadium will be decked out in black, and, in case you’ve been living under a rock, the Hawkeye players will be suited up in alternate Nike “Blackout” uniforms as well.
Here’s a peek at the alternate uniforms in case you haven’t seen them:
