(Full disclosure - I am an Iowa season ticket holder)
That being disclosed - I like Minnesota plus the points today.
Iowa has been a disappointment this year and has not played well on the road. The Gophers had a week to prepare and seem to be rejuvenated after Brewster was let go.
The Gopher seniors have not won a trophy game against either Iowa or Wisconsin. This is their last shot.
I am new to the site and really enjoy all the threads. Keep up the good work!
One more interesting note. Iowa has had a lot of trouble covering kickoffs this year ranking 86th in the nation.
Minnesota cornerback/kick returner Troy Stoudermire had two kick returns for 112 yards in Minnesota's last game, including a 90-yard return, and is now the Big Ten career kickoff return-yardage leader.
Hawk, I am a fellow Iowan and Iowa fan. I think the Hawks pour it on today. I know their season has been a disappointment, but that is mainly because of coaching in my opinion or terrible breaks. Wisconsin @ Iowa was one of the poorest coached games I've seen. Iowa wins today by 21 or more.
