Football season is finally upon us and contrary to popular belief there is indeed a football game this weekend! Matthias, Matt and Jake are back for another edition of the Wide Right and Natty Litecast. On this week's episode the guys dive into Northern Iowa and what we may expect on Saturday morning. Most expect Iowa State to come out and not show too much before the Iowa game in two weeks. How will Iowa State accomplish that while holding Northern Iowa at bay and keeping the Panthers from getting an upper hand early on? Matt thinks one of the keys will be keeping redshirt freshman Will McElvain uncomfortable all day long. This will be a tough first start for the former Des Moines Lincoln standout.There will be plenty of things for Iowa State to figure out in this one and Northern Iowa always brings it's best effort when they make the trip to Ames. The offense will be a key as they try to avoid a slow start once again this season. Brock Purdy and the run game will be a key in avoiding that as the season begins. Northern Iowa returns some playmakers on defense that will give the Iowa State offense an opportunity to grow on Saturday. Be sure to stay tuned to the end for the new "Here Comes the Money" segment as we dive into three games weekly and what we will bet on the Vegas lines. As always thank you for listening to the Wide Right and Natty Litecast. Thank you to our sponsor Es Tas Bar and Grill.
