per Megan:

P.J. Fleck remembers all his trips to Kinnick Stadium. Just somewhat begrudgingly.

As a player, as a new head coach and as Gophers coach, Fleck has lost at Iowa. Sometimes by just a touchdown. Sometimes by eight.

But now, the undefeated Gophers will head to Iowa City on Saturday coming off their greatest victory in decades, picking off No. 4 Penn State 31-26. Following a field-storming high, the 9-0 Gophers will encounter the Hawkeyes, a team fighting for a shred of hope for a Big Ten West title.

And yet, Iowa is still a three-point favorite, with some prognosticators anticipating a Gophers letdown, knowing the Hawkeyes have a four-game winning streak against their northern rivals and have claimed the Floyd of Rosedale trophy six times in seven years. The Gophers haven’t won at Kinnick Stadium since 1999.
