Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers
The annual Floyd of Rosedale game has more at stake than just the bronze pig. It's a West Division knockout game between two of the four teams tied for first place. Gophers QB Athan Kaliakmanis is in line to start again in place of the injured Tanner Morgan but, as usual, the focal point of the offense will be running back Mohamed Ibrahim. Iowa's defense has faced Ibrahim three times and fared as well as any against him, allowing 4.38 yards per carry. Iowa has won seven straight in the series.
