SEATTLE -- The city of Seattle has been overrun by Iowa football fans ahead of Friday night's game between the Hawkeyes and Washington. A sea of black and gold apparel has been spotted throughout the Emerald City this week, indicating a strong showing from the Hawkeye faithful in the Pacific Northwest.
The Big Ten Conference showdown is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on FOX. As game time approaches, the exact number of Iowa supporters filling Husky Stadium will become clearer, but the atmosphere already resembles that of a bowl game, with reports of fans gathering all over town.
Adding to the excitement, backup quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski is set to make his first career college start, the Register confirmed. Starter Hank Brown remains sidelined with a sprained shoulder.
