per Greder:
When the Gophers visit Iowa City on Saturday, they want to party like it’s 1999. Because, as Prince sang, “Say, say, two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time.”
Since Y2K, the Gophers are 0-7 against the Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium. While Minnesota is 5-5 versus Iowa in Minneapolis since then, the 18-year drought in the south includes giving up 40 or more points four times, being shut out once and having only two games within a touchdown.
That 25-21 win in 1999 was earned with 15 unanswered second-half points, including a long Arland Bruce touchdown run and a pass breakup in the end zone in the final seconds to beat a Hawkeyes team that finished 1-10 overall and 0-8 in Big Ten play — their worst record in 26 years.
Minnesota’s last win at Iowa capped an undefeated 4-0 road record in the Big Ten — a first since 1904. None of the road victories were larger, however, than Dan Nystrom’s game-winning field goal to knock off No. 2 Penn State in Happy Valley two weeks earlier.
