per BTN:
Game of the week: Minnesota at Iowa in the battle for Floyd of Rosedale. This will be the Golden Gophers’ first trip to Iowa City since 2012. Minnesota thumped Iowa last year in the Twin Cities, taking a 51-14 decision. The Gophers haven’t won in Kinnick Stadium since 1999, Kirk Ferentz’s first season in Iowa City. In fact, Iowa is 10-4 vs. Minnesota in the last 14 meetings.
Best head coach matchup: Let’s go with Kirk Ferentz vs. Jerry Kill. Ferentz is entering his 17th season in Iowa City. His tenure as Iowa’s head football coach trails only Hayden Fry, who led the Hawkeyes for 20 seasons (1979-98). Ferentz is tied for third in coaching longevity among BCS schools. Kill guided Minnesota to its first back-to-back eight-win seasons since 2002 (eight wins) and 2003 (10 wins). Since 1906, Minnesota has won eight games in consecutive seasons only five times. The 2013 and 2014 seasons were Minnesota’s first consecutive four-win conference seasons since 1999 (5-3) and 2000 (4-4).
