Iowa College Football: Sept. 22 Lines, Predictions and Where to Watch Ankeny's Own

Three Ankeny residents are on the Iowa college football rosters this season. It'll be Iowa v. Central Michigan and UNI v. Youngstown.

It's week four for college football and this Saturday's schedule for two of Iowa's three regent universities should be nothing short of satisfying.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are set to take on Central Michigan in Iowa City at 12 p.m. The University of Northern Iowa Panthers will travel to Youngstown, Ohio, to battle Youngstown State. The Panthers kickoff at 7 p.m.

The Iowa State Cyclones are not playing this week, but will be back in action on Sept. 29 when they host Texas Tech.
