The play-by-play role held by Burmeister would typically belong to Noah Eagle, but Eagle is calling Thursday night's San Francisco 49ers-Los Angeles Rams game from Melbourne, Australia.
This season's Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series clash is unique:
it is the first time NBC will carry the rivalry game. It's also the first night game in the series since Iowa blew out ISU at Kinnick Stadium in 2016, 43-3.
Kickoff for Saturday's sold-out game between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones is scheduled for 6:36 p.m. CT.
