The Iowa Hawkeyes closed out their 2023 non-conference slate in week three with a 41-10 win over the Western Michigan Broncos. The final score, like the stat sheet for the rushing attack, was impressive and in line with most expectations entering the game. The ride to get there, was not.
Now Iowa looks to build on the success they found in the second half of that game as they move on to their Big Ten opener in week four. With the beginning of Big Ten play, the Hawkeyes also face their first truly hostile environment of 2023 as they travel to Happy Valley for a whiteout for the first time since 2009.
