Is Iowa capable of becoming the top dog in the Big Ten in 2021?
• Solid special teams, so can they become elite in the Big Ten?
• Solid defense, so can they become elite, like some of Iowa's past editions over the last 40 years?
You throw the ball to score points.
You run the ball to win games. To close out games, often you need a first down, and the importance of being able to run the ball is high. - knock on Penn State per former coach Wannstedt on B1G Today show.

Iowa at Maryland (25). The fresh face: Maryland is 4–0 for the first time since 2016 and shooting for its first winning season since ’14. The Terrapins haven’t been 5–0 in 20 years. The establishment: Iowa (4–0) has an active streak of eight straight winning seasons, and 12 of the last 13. Kirk Ferentz is the dean of Big Ten coaches and is No. 4 among active coaches in terms of victories (172, which is 160 more than Maryland’s Mike Locksley).
This matchup: Iowa’s very good pass defense goes up against Maryland’s very good pass offense. The Terrapins have thrown for more than 300 yards in every game, while the Hawkeyes haven’t allowed a 300-yard passing game since 2019. The impressive thing for the Terps is that just one of Taulia Tagovailoa’s 147 passes has gone to the wrong team, which is important against an opponent that thrives on hidden yardage—big returns off turnovers and in the kicking game.
When: 8 p.m. ET Friday.
The line: Iowa by four.
Dash pick: Maryland 26, Iowa 24.
Productive pass offense vs. Productive pass defense and find ways to give Iowa's offense short fields. What will we see Friday night on FSI?
