Iowa football takes on Illinois on Saturday, Dec. 5. Here’s how to watch on TV or live stream the game.

The No. 19 Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2) are slated to face a weak Illinois side (2-3) on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL. The game will be televised on FS1. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 pm CT.

The Hawkeyes are fresh off a 26-20 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Iowa moved up from No. 24 to No. 19 in the AP Top-25 after the win, but have been mathematically eliminated from contention in the Big Ten West. Kirk Ferentz and Co. have won four straight after starting 0-2.

On the other side, Illinois has had a forgettable season. The Fighting Illini have yet to find their quarterback of the future after four different players have seen action this season at the position. Brandon Peters figures to get the start against the Hawkeyes.
