BTN: Week 6 primer: Floyd of Rosedale is on the line Saturday (Best Game: IA at MN)

[BleedGopher]

per BTN:

Best game: Iowa at Minnesota. If the Gophers want to contend in what looks like an open Big Ten West, they probably will need to beat visiting Iowa in the battle for Floyd of Rosedale. The Hawkeyes have won three of the last four meetings, but the Gophers won the last time Iowa came to Dinkytown in 2014. Iowa has already lost as many games as it did last year, as it is struggling to stop the run—among other issues.

Best coordinator matchup: Minnesota OC Jay Johnson vs. Iowa DC Phil Parker. The Golden Gopher offense is No. 5 in the Big Ten in scoring (36.3 ypg), as the run game ranks No. 4 in the league (228.3 ypg). Parker is a veteran mind whose defense has struggled to stop the run in ranking No. 11 in the Big Ten (182.8 ypg). Can the Hawkeyes slow down the 1-2 punch of Minnesota backs Rodney Smith and Shannon Brooks?
