Has Iowa taken the keys to the 2018 and 2020 formula Northwestern used to get to Indy for the 2022 Big Ten Football season❓️
It's clear that Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh, and the rest of the program, hold the Hawkeyes in high regard not just on offense but on defense, too, as I read the Michigan Rivals news this week ahead of the Saturday game at Kinnick Stadium.
"The quarterback has got a big arm," Harbaugh said. "He can make every single throw. The offensive line is really well-coached, as the entire team is. They have a system, they know their system, they get good at their system. It's a national story every year, Iowa's offense is struggling. You read those articles. It's that way every single year and half the time they win the Big Ten West championship and they continue to improve every single week. That's what they do.
"They've got some players there. They've got a tight end—he's a big, tall player who is really good. They've got a safety that's going to be an NFL player, they've got a corner that's going to be an NFL player. They've got really good players, they're really well-coached. It's going to be a big task for our team."
The 2018 Northwestern team opened Big Ten Football with a 31-27 win at Purdue. The Wilcats came up short 20-17 at Ryan Field.
Iowa does play both Michigan and Ohio State, but despite Minnesota and Northwestern both at 1-0 with the Hawks. The West should be a wide open race, if the Hawkeyes can play strong in the West, as Northwestern did in 2018.
The pandemic year in 2020 was a cluster for obvious reasons.
On Iowa!
