Minnesota owns a 63-53-2 lead in the series, but it's been all Hawkeyes in recent years.
Iowa has won 9 of the last 10 in the series and is up 19-7 since Kirk Ferentz took the Iowa job ahead of the 1999 season.
Minnesota does have bragging rights from the last time these two programs met at Kinnick Stadium, however. That was the controversial 12-10 Minnesota victory in which the officiating crew overturned what appeared to be a game-winning punt return touchdown by Cooper DeJean, ruling that DeJean made an invalid fair catch signal before scooping up the ball.
Minnesota is 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play. The Gophers have won two in a row, including last week's 24-6 win over then-No. 25 Nebraska.
Minnesota's offense has been relatively quiet this year, averaging 26.9 points per game (79th in FBS) and only exceeding 31 points one time — a 66-0 blowout victory over Northwestern State in Week 2.
Defensively, however, the Gophers have been tough. Only defending national champion Ohio State has topped the 300-yard mark through the air against Minnesota, and five of the team's seven opponents so far have failed to reach 3.5 yards per carry.
Minnesota has only committed one turnover in Big Ten play and has forced five.
Minnesota's schedule and scores:
- Aug. 28: Minnesota 23, Buffalo 10
