Per Chip:
The fight for Floyd of Rosedale last season got decided by a guy waving his hand. Saturday’s rematch will be determined by guys flexing their muscles.
Iowa versus Gophers 2024 is all about the trenches.
The winner of the bronzed Pig will be the team that gains the upper hand in the slop.
Forget historical records and all the sexier story lines that draw attention in rivalry games. Comparing quarterbacks and arguing about invalid fair catch signals is fun fodder, but this is a matchup that comes down to the big boys.
One could say that every football game hinges on the play of offensive and defensive lines. That’s especially true when it involves two teams constructed in similar fashion, each knowing that its own perceived strength is the other’s perceived strength and that winning the game will be awfully difficult if they don’t win the line of scrimmage first.
“This game is always won in the trenches in my opinion,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. “Always.”

Scoggins: Saturday is simple: Win the trenches, win the pig
Battle between the Gophers and Hawkeyes will come down to the line of scrimmage, with the winner walking away with the Floyd of Rosedale
