"Defensive Battle Expected as Rutgers Takes on Iowa at Kinnick"
The Iowa football team has the opportunity to take charge of the Big Ten West Division with a win against Rutgers. Currently holding a one-game lead in the West standings, a win on Saturday would bring the Hawkeyes within one week of a clinching victory. However, Rutgers is a formidable opponent and could pose a challenge for Iowa. ESPN's FPI gives Iowa a 71.4% chance to win the West, with Wisconsin at 13.2% and Nebraska at 9.1%. The outcome of the game will heavily depend on Iowa's ability to stop Rutgers' running game and whether they can generate turnovers on defense.
