Michigan vs Iowa Big Ten Clash | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Michigan faces Iowa in their Big Ten opener, a historic 65th matchup where the Wolverines hold a commanding 45-15 edge with four ties. Though Michigan has won five of the last six, that 2016 loss still haunts them — and this early-season clash could set the tone for playoff races. Iowa, rebounding from a nine-win season where they lost all games by five points or fewer, brings back a potent running game led by Kamari Moulton and a stout offensive line, despite losing key players like dual-threat QB Mark Gronowski. New QBs Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown battle for the starting role, with Iowa’s success hinging on hitting 150 rushing yards. With a tough schedule ahead — including a showdown with Ohio State — the game hinges on who dominates the line of scrimmage and wins the turnover battle. Michigan can’t afford to sleep on Iowa, even on neutral turf. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
