IOWA CITY, Iowa — Ten months ago, when Michigan football met Iowa in the Big Ten championship game, the Wolverines led by two touchdowns before 10 minutes melted off the clock. And at that point — against a Hawkeyes offense that finished the year ranked 121st in yards per game — head coach Jim Harbaugh’s team already had the win secured. U-M coasted to a 42-3 blowout.
On Saturday, when Michigan met Iowa for its first road game in 2022, the Wolverines marched 75 yards on their opening possession to take a 7-0 lead, capped with a 16-yard end around by wide receiver Ronnie Bell.
