(AP) -- Arizona quarterback Nick Foles, running back Nic Grigsby and a defense that hasn't let up a touchdown will be challenging enough for Iowa.
 
Throw in a long flight, a very late kickoff and the desert heat, and the Hawkeyes are faced with what could be their toughest road test of the season.
 
No. 9 Iowa (2-0) has to fly roughly 1,500 miles for Saturday's night's 9:35 p.m. CDT game against the 24th-ranked Wildcats (2-0).
 
The forecast calls for temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s at kickoff. That's a a warm night for a Big Ten team more suited for the snow than the sunshine.
 
Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi says the Hawkeyes might be in trouble if they start worrying more about the weather than the Wildcats.
