Behind Enemy Lines: Q&A With Black Heart Gold Pants
The Illinois Fighting Illini look to snap a 7-game losing streak against the Iowa Hawkeyes this Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. It’s senior day in Iowa City, so we should totally expect a 63-0 Illini win, right? Too soon?
Illinois is fresh off a bye week and the Hawkeyes defeated Minnesota last Saturday. Both teams have plenty to play for — Iowa still has a shot at a Big Ten West title, while Illinois is competing for a chance at bowl eligibility in Bret Bielema’s first season at the helm.
To get to know a bit more about the Hawkeyes, we chatted with Jonah Parker from SB Nation’s Iowa site, Black Heart Gold Pants. Take a look.
