How to Watch the Iowa Hawkeyes at Minnesota Gophers
The Hawkeyes hit the road again with Floyd of Rosedale en route
Happy Saturday, Iowa Hawkeye fans! It's game day as the undefeated #15 Hawkeyes gear up to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. The Gophers come into the contest with a 4-2 record, including two wins against the same two teams the Hawkeyes defeated earlier in the season. Quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski will be making his second career start for Iowa, following his strong performance against Washington last Tuesday.
The matchup tilts in favor of Iowa, as Minnesota ranks 129th nationally in rushing offense and is set to face the country's #7 rush defense. If the Gophers can contain Drake Lindsey, who has thrown for nine touchdowns and five interceptions, the Hawkeyes will have a better chance at putting the game away. However, Iowa's defense will need to generate pressure on Lindsey to keep him off rhythm and generate turnovers.
The Hawkeyes' run game, which performed well against Washington, will likely be a key factor in the game. The weather forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with a chance of rain in the evening. Tune in to FS1 at 2:30 PM CT for kickoff and catch all the action between the Hawkeyes and Gophers.
