College Football isn't always fair. Wisconsin wins their 5th game in 6 seasons against Iowa. Smokes Iowa 27-7.
Is that the first loss in 30 games, where an Iowa defense gave up more than 24 points?

Iowa has lost two straight. Like last season, the Hawkeyes are 6-2.
Unlike last season, Iowa has 3 wins over Top 25 teams. And, Purdue and Wisconsin aren't bad teams in 2021, maybe not quite 2020 Northwestern, who still lost to Michigan State last year, a team Iowa beat 49-7.
That's football.
Penn State rises after a lose, maybe, while Iowa crashes.
The Hawkeyes have to play back to back road games. Memories of 2018, at Penn State, then at Purdue.
Can Iowa right the ship?
PFF College has Minnesota a better rated team (last week) than any of the teams Iowa has played to date.
Of course, the Hawkeyes get Northwestern in Evanston at night.
The Wildcats didn't fair well at home on Saturday either.
