When the Rutgers Scarlet Knights travel to Iowa City play the Iowa football team at historic Kinnick Stadium, it will be just the second time these two teams have ever faced off, and they really couldn’t be more different.
Basically, the only thing these two teams have in common is that they play in the Big Ten, and if you asked any fans of any of the teams in the Big Ten, they would likely wish that wasn’t even a commonality because Rutgers is typically just the butt of everyone’s jokes.
But, if we’re being honest, it’s the perfect Big Ten opening matchup for the Iowa football team because it presents a great opportunity to get the first Big Ten win out of the way and build positive momentum heading into the Cy-Hawk Trophy game against Iowa State.
