Just as we all thought they would, the Iowa Hawkeyes ended Minnesota’s hopes of an undefeated season last Saturday. It was fun! It was also meaningless in the grand scheme of winning the Big Ten West Division!
But hey, it was time for Minnesota to snap back to reality. I didn’t like living in a world where Minnesota was ranked in the Top 10. It was weird. It’s also weird that this weekend’s opponent, Illinois, comes into the game...on a four game win streak? This game has trap written all over it.
Thankfully, it appears head coach Kirk Ferentz and his coaching staff have noticed and are prepared, if yesterday’s press conference was to be believed.
