This week in Iowa talk
The shows spent the week on Iowa's defensive strength as the team heads into a pair of big rivalry games. After Minnesota took Floyd of Rosedale in a low-scoring battle, Iowa faces Wisconsin this week, and the talk keeps coming back to how Iowa's defense can pressure Wisconsin's passing game and force mistakes. The hosts see these as classic Big Ten grind-it-out matchups, with most picking Iowa to win but expecting tight, defensive struggles throughout.
