per Joe:
Life inside the Minnesota-Iowa rivalry wasn’t easy to begin with.
As Gophers senior Drew Wolitarsky put it: “Last year in Iowa was crazy. You felt like you were in this gladiator arena. I remember being very sore after the game.”
Saturday’s losing team will feel additional pain. Beyond watching the winner parade around TCF Bank Stadium with a 98.3-pound bronze pig, the loser will be all but knocked out of the Big Ten West race.
Minnesota’s overtime loss at Penn State last week and Iowa’s home loss to Northwestern gave these two teams with division title hopes little margin for error.
“I think it’s more pressure,” former Iowa quarterback Chuck Long told Big Ten Network. “Both teams need this victory.”
