After a full week of rest, the Hawkeyes will be heading to Madison to take on the 16th ranked Badgers this weekend in a matchup that will largely determine how Iowa fans view this season.
Up to this point, things have gone largely according to script with Iowa beating teams they were expected to (we’ll include Iowa State here) and losing to Michigan and Penn State as predicted. Now, with 13th ranked Minnesota slated to host a top-5 Penn State team Saturday, Iowa has an opportunity to put their Big Ten West fate back in their own hands.
