Iowa comes to Camp Randall today for a 3:00 game Game is on FOX.

Crappy ESPN Preview.

Iowa (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) at Wisconsin (4-1, 2-0), Saturday, 4 p.m. ET (Fox)

Line: Wisconsin by 10, according to .

Series record: Wisconsin leads 49-45-2.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Wisconsin and Iowa are the only Big Ten West teams at .500 or above in conference play, so the winner of this game becomes the division’s clear front-runner. Since 2004, the Wisconsin-Iowa winner has gained possession of the Heartland Trophy, a 72-pound brass bull designed by former Iowa football player Frank Strub. Iowa currently holds the trophy by virtue of its 24-10 victory last season.

KEY MATCHUP

Wisconsin running game vs. Iowa run defense: Wisconsin averages 203.6 yards rushing per game and 5.19 yards per carry to lead the Big Ten in both categories. Iowa ranks ninth in the Big Ten in yards rushing allowed per game (131.17) and eighth in yards allowed per carry (3.58), but the Hawkeyes have given up just one touchdown run all season.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Iowa: QB Deacon Hill is getting ready to face his former team. Hill was a Wisconsin reserve before entering the transfer portal midway through last season. Hill became Iowa’s starting quarterback after Cade McNamara tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a Sept. 30 victory over Michigan State. Hill has completed 37.5% of his passes for 274 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions this season.

Wisconsin: RB Braelon Allen’s success rate has generally determined how Wisconsin has fared against Iowa the last two seasons. He rushed for 104 yards on 20 carries in a 27-7 victory over Iowa in 2021 but was limited to 45 yards on 18 carries in a loss to the Hawkeyes last season. Allen has rushed for 472 yards while averaging 6.5 yards per carry this year.

It’s a bit breezy out today so not sure how the passing game is going to be for both teams.

Deacon Hill has a big arm but isn’t mobile and is really erratic with his accuracy. The Badgers have to force Iowa to throw.

Over the years, so many of the games in this series the games are close and turnovers or a defensive score or special teams score make the difference.

10 points looks like a pretty hefty spread. Iowa has no offense but the Badgers are no juggernaut on offense, especially against Iowa's defense. It's probably going to be an ugly game decide by turnovers and special teams. It looks like the number is -8.5 at KO.

I was hopeful that I would like these TV announcers... that's diminishing quickly...

Saddest ass 4th down call in years. A fucking draw play on 4th and 1?

How's that for a blocking scheme? Doesn't do much good pulling to open a hole if you let the best defense player go unaccounted for.

Hill is just as big as his linemen.

The spread on this game is 8.5. That probably should be the O/U.

Mordecai doing his kirk cousins impression, throwing short of 1st down

10/14/233:44 PM

Everything about this team says mediocre, even Allen. I don't think he's going nearly as high in the draft as we thought 2 years ago.

3 passes and out. I can see why Longo was available.

Mordecai is awful, good to see him continue with the long lineage of mediocre QB play by WI, ugh

2nd and 3rd down passes were awful by Mordecai. Donovan McNabb worm burners

If we had a decent QB I wouldn't mind 6-7 pass plays in a row, but Mordicai sucks donkey balls.

While this isn't a lost season, this team is really not very good. That's why I would just as soon see Locke playing QB, gain the experience, and they we don't go through this same thing next year.
