Iowa vs. Michigan: Previewing the Big Ten Championship

Related Topics: Michigan, Iowa

Two years ago, Iowa and Michigan faced off against one another for the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. The Hawkeyes were a flawed team that was overly reliant on its defense and special teams to score points and flip the field to win games, but Iowa had pulled off enough remarkable wins over the course of the season that an upset over the Wolverines was at least plausible. While Iowa kept things close through the first half, their self-imposed mistakes and Michigan’s advantage at key positions eventually took their toll on the Hawkeyes, resulting in a decisive 42-3 loss for the black and gold.
