Iowa is 2-1 on the season following a Week 2 heartbreaking loss to rival Iowa State (20-19) and a bounce-back win over Troy (38-21) last weekend. The Hawkeyes finished last season with a 35-0 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl loss to Tennessee to end the year 10-3.

Iowa appears to be the superior team on paper, but as has often been the case in Iowa-Minnesota games, this has the potential to be another down-to-the-wire finish.
