When Wisconsin football and Iowa football get together, it’s always a rock fight. On Saturday night, in front of a rowdy Kinnick Stadium crowd, it felt like both Big Ten West hopefuls were throwing boulders.
The game was a battle of wills and was won and lost in the trenches. Cliches aside, this was a Big Ten Football game in every sense of the word. It wasn’t flashy or appealing to the outside spectator, but to the throngs of Iowa and Wisconsin fans tuning in, it was fascinating.
Time and time again, the Badgers found themselves on the brink, staring at two consecutive losses and a failed season ahead of them.
