Hawkeye Football is coming off two consecutive Big Ten Conference wins against rivals Wisconsin and Penn State.
The Iowa defense suffocated the anemic Wisconsin offense, forcing three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble) and not allowing a single point.
The defense was also stellar against Penn State, forcing two more interceptions and two fumbles.
The Hawkeyes started the season slowly, but have found a way to grind out tough games, and are currently tied for third place in the Big Ten Conference with a 3-1 record.
The success of the Hawkeyes this season is due to the outstanding play of both the offensive and defensive lines.
