per the Daily Iowan:

Football dates back to the late-1800s — a new game that was a variation of rugby and soccer.

One thing that’s stayed consistent in the 100-plus years since its inception?

Running the pigskin through the trenches that make up the line of scrimmage. And that’s exactly what Iowa and Minnesota plan to do Saturday, when the Hawkeyes travel to Minneapolis to face the Gophers. A bit of old-fashioned football.

“It’s Big Ten football from the past,” running back Mark Weisman said. “Definitely running games [are important], but both teams are going to need to pass to win this game.”
