In the Q&A piece I did with Iowa’s SB Nation site, we discussed the Hawkeyes’ two losses in 2023 — one against Michigan and the other against Penn State.
There’s an excerpt from that conversation that I found interesting and relevant to the upcoming game. Instead of paraphrasing, I’ll just post it here:
3.) All kidding aside, the two games Iowa’s lost this season were also the only two games in which it allowed more than 20 points to the opposing team. Is there anything to that, is it just a coincidence or does it have more to do with the two contests being against Penn State and Michigan?
