The Hawkeyes looked like a football team again last week. After a pair of disappointing losses to Purdue and Northwestern to start the season, Iowa blew Michigan State out of the water. The Minnesota Golden Gophers have had a similar story to their season.
The Gophers were blown out in week one in a 45-24 route by Michigan. While losing to Michigan doesn’t typically come with alarm bells, that was supposed to be a close matchup. Close enough that College GameDay was in town. In retrospect, it looks a bit worse with Michigan now sitting at 1-2 on the season and unranked.
