Iowa welcomed in the nation’s No. 4 team in the Michigan Wolverines hoping to recreate some Kinnick Stadium magic against another top-5 opponent for FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff.”
From the first series, Michigan made it clear that Iowa’s 5-1 mark against AP top-5 opponents in its past six games at Kinnick wasn’t improving to 6-1. The Hawkeyes also entered this contest having won their past four meetings over the Wolverines in Iowa City, but that streak was snapped as well.
Michigan (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) topped Iowa 27-14 to drop the Hawkeyes to 3-2 (1-1 Big Ten). Now that it’s in the record books, let’s take a look back at five of the lasting takeaways from this one for Iowa.
