We’re just over one week from the triumphant return of Big Ten and Iowa Hawkeye Football and there’s no time like the present to start thinking about what exactly this season could entail. We learned the revised scheduled for each of the Big Ten’s teams a few weeks ago and for the Hawkeyes, it means 8 regular season games plus 1 cross-divisional matchup on Championship Weekend for a total of 9 games. Iowa will travel to Purdue next Saturday to kick off the season with future road trips to Minnesota (on a Friday night), Penn State and Illinois while playing host to Northwestern, Michigan State, Nebraska (on Black Friday) and Wisconsin.
