Iowa Football: Despite McNamara Injury, Hawkeyes Open as Favorites vs Purdue

The Iowa Hawkeyes are in slightly uncharted territory. They took home a much-needed home win on Saturday night over the Michigan State Spartans. It was a double-digit win in a game they were expected (by Vegas) to win by double digits. They didn’t cover, but they did beat a Big Ten opponent by 10 with a backup quarterback at the helm. They also topped the infamous 25 point mark.

Of course, there’s fine print attached to that. The most notable being the 7 points, and the victory, courtesy of a Cooper DeJean 70-yard punt return for a touchdown.
