The Iowa Hawkeyes have made it through the month of November perfect with wins in their last four contests after starting the year with two losses. Those two losses are almost certainly going to cost Iowa their chance at the Big Ten Championship Game, but there is more left to play for in Iowa City.
This week, the Hawkeyes travel to Champaign to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini, who are fresh off what was effectively a bye. After a win over the same Nebraska team that gave Iowa some heartburn last week, Illinois had their matchup with Ohio State cancelled due to COVID-19.
