Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Iowa - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-3) hit the road to Iowa City to face the No. 24-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes (5-1) on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT in a fight for the Floyd of Rosedale.

Can Iowa score on offense?

The Hawkeyes’ offense is awful. They rank 130th nationally in total offense (247.4 total yards per game) and 113th in scoring offense (20.9 points per game). Kicker Drew Steven is by far their most productive player, with 50 points to his name thanks to 12 field goals and 14 extra points.

Iowa will be without starting signal caller Cade McNamara, the former Michigan transfer who suffered a torn ACL in the first quarter of a 26-16 win over Michigan State.
