Iowa is 2-0 and has a massive matchup on the horizon next week. Next Saturday they will travel to Happy Valley to kick off Big Ten conference play against Penn State.
Though the biggest game of the regular season is right around the corner, it doesn’t really mean a thing for head coach Kirk Ferentz’s team. That’s next week. This week the Hawkeyes have their sights set on MAC opponent Western Michigan.
