Linebackers will be the key for both sides in this year's battle for the Floyd of Rosedale.
Is it me or does this year's battle for the Floyd of Rosedale seem to be missing the usual hate leading up to the game? No hot Twitter taeks. Hate pieces (yet). Comment sections turning into the Battle of the Bulge. Yet and still, Iowa fans shouldn't forget this: Minnesota 51, Iowa 14. Last year's matchup was embarrassing to the team, the fans and the program. This year you can't help but feel for Minnesota with what's been going on with Jerry Kill and his all too soon retirement for health reasons.
