THE SKINNY: This game is on Friday the 13th and the last time Iowa played the Runnin' Bulldogs, they put quite a scare into the Hawkeyes -- they led 38-18 at halftime, before Iowa blitzed them in the second half, 47-18. Which is to say: let's not sleep on the 'dogs. (I mean, they're runnin', so that would be a pretty uncomfortable sleep to begin with.) On the other hand, they lost four of the top five scorers from a year ago, so early growing pains are to be expected.
