1. Iowa's defense is finally rounding into the form that coaches and fans were talking about during fall camp. The Hawkeyes limited Michigan to 201 total yards in a 14-13 upset two weeks ago, and followed that by shutting out Illinois 28-0. The Huskers' offensive line will have its hands full with 310-pound defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson (67), who is playing his best football at Iowa. He had nine tackles against a stout Wolverines offensive line.
