Football: Defense could be the key as Nevada looks to get back on track against Iowa

On the heels of a high-scoring loss to the Incarnate Word Cardinals, the Nevada Wolf Pack football team heads to Big 10 country Saturday to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Despite entering as a 23.5-point underdog, this is not your typical tune-up game against a big conference opponent.

Both teams enter the game coming off disappointing home losses and have numerous questions that need answering before heading into conference play.

The playing styles of both teams could result in an ugly game, which may keep Nevada within striking distance until the end.
