per Steve:
There’s more than a 98.3-pound bronze pig on the line today at Kinnick Stadium.
There’s a chance for Iowa’s 23rd-ranked football team to play the role of the November spoiler — again.
Much like Michigan in 2016 and Ohio State in 2017, Minnesota visits the Hawkeyes sporting an unblemished record, Big Ten title hopes and chasing postseason playoff possibilities.
The seventh-ranked Golden Gophers bring a 9-0 record into the 3 p.m. battle for Floyd of Rosedale, the first time since 1904 that Minnesota has remained unbeaten this deep into the season.
“They’re obviously having a great season, but we wouldn’t mind sending them home with a loss,’’ Iowa defensive tackle Cedrick Lattimore said. “We got a few things to play for, too.’’
A 10-win season remains a goal for the Hawkeyes, something that would require a win in every game Iowa plays between now and the end of the season.
And mostly, the Hawkeyes want to compete.
“We’re a good football team. We’ve shown that we can compete with some of the best teams in the country and this is another chance to do that,’’ Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley said.
