Both the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-2, 4-1 Big Ten) and the Oregon Ducks (7-1, 5-1 Big Ten) are coming off bye weeks, looking to play their best football to start the month of November.
Iowa entered the bye week on a three-game winning streak, including two rivalry game victories over Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Oregon entered the bye week after a 21-7 victory over Wisconsin. The Ducks overcame a lackluster performance by quarterback Dante Moore (86 passing yards, -13 rushing yards) to hold off the Badgers at home.
The Ducks travel to Iowa City this weekend for a top 20 clash at Kinnick Stadium with College Football Playoff implications on the line.
