After an inexcusable loss at Minnesota, Iowa returned home and delivered its most complete performance of the season.

Collin and Tyler break down the Hawkeyes’ dominant 30-0 shutout of No. 25 Wisconsin with Hank Brown bouncing back with two touchdown passes and Iowa’s defense completely overwhelming the Badgers. The Hawkeyes have now won five straight in the rivalry. Luke Fickell remains winless against Iowa, and the Heartland Trophy stays in Iowa City.

Now on to a MASSIVE game next weekend against Northwestern.

Iowa entered the weekend ranked No. 15 with legitimate College Football Playoff hopes. It left Minneapolis with one of the most embarrassing losses in the Kirk Ferentz era.

Collin and Tyler break down Iowa’s pathetic 13-10 loss to Minnesota—a game marked by four turnovers, three interceptions, four fumbles, a blocked punt, and virtually no rushing attack. Despite another outstanding performance by the Hawkeye defense, Iowa squandered an opportunity to improve to 6-1 and remain in the playoff conversation.
