The Iowa Hawkeyes continued their stretch of perfection from the month of November into the first weekend in December last weekend with a 35-21 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini. That makes five straight wins for Iowa this season after getting off to a frustrating start with a pair of losses.
Iowa’s opponent this week, the Wisconsin Badgers, are likely just excited to be here. The Badgers are coming off their second loss of the season after falling to Indiana 14-6 last weekend. The matchup was their first since a loss to Northwestern two weeks prior and came in just the fourth game all year for Wisconsin.
