Iowa vs. Minnesota: 3 things to watch
- The tight end show. Fans of the tight end show may enjoy this year’s Iowa-Minnesota game. Iowa obviously has Luke Lachey and Erick All, both of whom are likely to be in the conversation for all-Big Ten honors. Add Minnesota’s Brevyn Spann-Ford, and it could be Tight End Fest at Kinnick Stadium.
- How much does Athan Kaliakmanis improve in 2023? Minnesota has some talented weapons, but Kaliakmanis has to get the ball to them at a much more efficient clip than in 2022.
- How much pressure can Minnesota generate up front? The Gophers ranked 13th out of 14 Big Ten teams last year with 19 sacks.
2023 prognosis
Iowa has kept the pig (while sometimes leaving the timeouts) for eight straight years. Minnesota has a respectable roster in 2023, but extending the Hawkeyes’ streak to eight years in a row certainly seems doable.Iowa football 2023 early opponent preview: Minnesota
Both Iowa and Minnesota have tight ends who could hear their names called during next year’s NFL Draft.
