MnB staff roundtable: Iowa matchup an opportunity to reset narrative

Good old-fashioned Big Ten football arrives this week in the form of the Fightin’ Ferentzes. Or, Iowa. However, if Michigan plays that style, they’ll lose, because this isn’t Hayden Fry’s Iowa. The new Iowa scores points and throws the ball to no less than 47 different tight ends disguised as receivers. As expected, we learned nothing from the Rutgers matchup, because Rutgers is bad, and Michigan merely needed to sneeze at them and they got shut out. But Cam McGrone and Daxton Hill used their playing time well. Josh Gattis appeared on the sideline to be Jim Harbaugh’s Enthused Guy and to be able to quickly tell Shea Patterson to do the opposite of whatever he did in Madison.
