After a crucial victory over Maryland, the Wildcats head to the friendly confines to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. To get us set for this Big Ten showdown, Inside NU spoke to The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman to fill us in on Iowa.
INU: Despite its struggles, Iowa is already bowl-eligible at 6-2. What is the mood in Iowa City and how do Hawkeye’s fans feel about the state of the program?
Dochterman: The feelings are mixed right now because of the offensive issues. The excitement over whether Iowa could win the West Division is somewhat muted because of what inevitably awaits the Hawkeyes – or any West Division champion – in Indianapolis.
