From his Athletic article this am:
4. But you know who’s really good at defense? The Iowa freaking Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes faced two top-20 opponents (Indiana and Iowa State) and allowed a combined 23 points. Last week, they notched two pick sixes off Michael Penix Jr. This week, they intercepted Brock Purdy so many times (three) that Matt Campbell benched his four-year starter.
Let’s see how Penn State fares next week against Auburn, but Iowa has won eight straight games dating to last season, and its defense is terrifying. Are we prepared for the possibility that the Big Ten’s best team may actually be in the West?
