The Iowa Hawkeyes beat the Golden Gophers for the 7th time in a row. Iowa has won 8 of 9 in that series and bacon is good. Iowa has not lost to Minnesota since 1999 in Iowa City! Fran has assembled a fun, young basketball team in Iowa City!!

The Iowa Hawkeyes face the Golden Gophers on Saturday with Floyd of Rosedale at stake. Floyd has been in Iowa so long he’s considered a resident and never wants to leave beautiful Iowa City. Hawkeye basketball looked good against an out-manned Longwood team, led by Keegan Murray.

Iowa beat Northwestern to move to 7-2 on the football season. Alex Padilla filled in for a struggling Spencer Petras who was battling an injury. Fran McCaffery’s basketball team played an exhibition game against Slippery Rock on Friday. It’s an athletic basketball team that will be fun to watch.

After two disappointing losses with lackluster offensive performances, can the Hawkeyes get back on track and win a seventh game against a struggling Northwestern Wildcats team? Northwestern’s defense is not up to its usual standards this year, and this could be a big week for the Iowa offense.

Iowa’s offense could only muster seven points again on Saturday against the Badgers, and Iowa drops another game to a division foe. Four more games are coming up against border rivals, and the Hawkeyes need to get the offense going, or this season is in jeopardy!

The Hawkeyes are coming off a bye week after a disappointing loss to Purdue. Wisconsin is coming off three straight wins and now have a 4-3 record. The winner of this game is in the driver’s seat to win the West. Will the Hawkeyes get back on track, or will the Badgers be able to grind out enough yards on the ground to beat the Hawkeyes? What adjustments will the Hawkeyes make to get the offense going against the second best defense in the country?

The #2 Hawkeyes were friendly hosts to the Purdue Boilermakers, and Purdue left with a win and its first appearance in the top 25 in several years. Iowa is 6-1 and still has all the goals in sight, but the offense needs some improvement. It’s bye week and time to regroup before the final five games of the season.

Kinnick Stadium was as loud as I can recall. The Hawkeyes beat a top five team in a battle of two top five teams!! It was a day I won’t forget and maybe the happiest I have been walking out of Kinnick. I still can’t get the smile off my face. Game balls: offense - Tyler Linderbaum, defense - Jack Campbell, special teams - Tory Taylor - great job mate!! GO HAWKEYES!!

The #3 Iowa Hawkeyes and the #4 Penn State Nittany Lions face off at Kinnick stadium on Saturday. It’s the biggest game at Kinnick since the #1 Hawkeyes beat the #2 Michigan Wolverines on a last second field goal in 1985. Sean Clifford is the key on Saturday, and Phil Parker will have this defense ready to make some big plays and get the Hawkeyes a monumental victory! Iowa’s rushing game has a chance to get some big yardage, and another good punter faces the great Hawkeye punter Tory Taylor.

The Iowa Hawkeyes traveled to College Park, Maryland on Friday for a matchup of two 4-0 teams. They say crab cakes and football are what Maryland is about, but Iowa proved that football goes better with corn. This was a dominating performance by the Hawkeyes, forcing seven turnovers. Iowa picked off Taulia Tagovailoa five times and had six interceptions in this game.
