In one of the most evenly-split and bitter rivalries you’ll find anywhere in college football, our Hawkeyes host the hated red cheeseheads from up north this Saturday. The last time Iowa walked out of its own stadium with a win over Bucky, it was led by Shonn Greene in 2008. That’s a long time to wait for a home win against any rival, but especially one like Wisconsin. Thanks to a three-game win streak from 2012-14, Wisconsin holds an all time lead in the series 44-43-2.
There are usually so many good backstories to this game. There was the Barry Alvarez connection.
