The Wisconsin Badgers have been a thorn in the Hawkeyes’ side for the better part of the decade so we enter the 2021 season wondering if last season’s shellacking is a blip on the matchup’s radar or a flip of the script in Iowa’s favor. The rivalry turned to Wisky’s favor on the well chronicled-2010 game in Kinnick Stadium.
Throughout the 2010s, Wisconsin became the belle of the Big Ten West ball: 75% win percentage, six New Year’s 6 bowls (2-4 record, including 0-4 in Pasadena), six Big Ten Championship games, and three conference championships.
