{{See also|2017 Wyoming Cowboys football team}}Iowa opened up the 2017 football season against the Wyoming Cowboys and highly rated Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen. The Hawkeyes got off to a slow start, but after Wyoming punter Tim Zaleski missed the ball on the attempted punt, the Hawkeyes took a 14–3 lead at the half. Iowa built on the momentum with a 45-yard pass from first-year starter Nate Stanley to wide receiver Nick Easley. Iowa wins the season opener 24–3. Iowa's defense impressed many, holding Josh Allen to only 174 yards and 17 incompletions, and a quarterback rating of 24.9. Iowa defense also picked off Allen twice.

This game marked the debut of the "Kinnick Wave", a new Iowa football tradition in which fans turn toward the children's hospital that overlooks the playing field at the end of the first quarter and wave to patients and their families watching the game from the hospital.{{cite web |title=Josh Allen, Wyoming football will be true test for Iowa defense in Week 1 |url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2017-09-02/josh-allen-wyoming-football-will-be-true-test-iowa-defense-week-1 |work=NCAA|date=September 1, 2017 |access-date=September 2, 2017}}{{cite web |title=Iowa roughs up Allen, Wyoming 24-3 |url=http://collegefootball.ap.org/article/iowa-roughs-allen-wyoming-24-3 |work=Associated Press|date=September 2, 2017 |access-date=September 2, 2017}}{{cite web |title=Wyoming draft darling Josh Allen stymied in first tough test |url=http://www.espn.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/138113/iowa-slows-wyoming-standout-qb-josh-allen-in-24-3-win |work=ESPN|date=September 2, 2017 |access-date=September 2, 2017}}{{cite web |title=Big Ten Football Players of the Week |url=http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/090417aab.html |work=Big Ten Network |date=September 4, 2017 |access-date=September 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904204304/http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/090417aab.html |archive-date=September 4, 2017 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=Josey Jewell named Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week |url=http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2017/09/03/josey-jewell-named-walter-camp-national-defensive-player-week/629796001/ |work=Des Moines Register|date=September 3, 2017 |access-date=September 4, 2017}}

{{See also|2017 Iowa State Cyclones football team|Iowa–Iowa State football rivalry}}Iowa's first rivalry game of the year was the Cy-Hawk series against Big 12 foe Iowa State {{ndash}} fresh off a 42–3 beatdown in Iowa City the past year. ISU's 2nd year coach Matt Campbell referred to Iowa as the "team out east" in pregame preparations. This game had a relatively slow beginning and Iowa appeared to be in control well into the third quarter. However, Iowa State's offense exploded and put up 28 points in the second half. The game ultimately went to OT and the "team out east" prevailed with a Nate Stanley touchdown pass.

Illinois played with Iowa well into the third quarter. The Hawkeyes appeared lethargic but a Brandon Snyder interception sparked an Iowa rally and they dominated the rest of the way.

Iowa was able to defeat Ohio State for the first time since 2004 in this blowout victory. The Buckeyes played with the Hawkeyes for most of the first half but from there the game belonged to Iowa. It was one of the most impressive wins of the Ferentz era and Nate Stanley's most distinguished to that point as well. Tight ends Noah Fant and T. J. Hockenson combined for 9 receptions, 125 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Defensive back and future NFL player Josh Jackson also had an outstanding game, tying an Iowa school record with three interceptions.
