Iowa Hawkeyes
at Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday, September 21
Being 2.5-point road favorites isn’t a bad way to open Big Ten play, unless you’re a Hawkeye fan still not over last year’s upset loss to Minnesota.
Iowa has added incentive to win because a second loss in four games would all but end their chance at the new 12-team College Football Playoff setup.
The Golden Gophers could clinch a third straight shutout if they keep all phases of Iowa out of the end zone.
