I guess in my mind, I sort of consider this game like our roadie at Indiana last year. Big, physical Big 10 team, that has been down in the Big 10 (no shame) but usually takes care of business in lower non conference games. I was impressed to see them beat Pitt. They shot up in the Big Ten rankings after the Pitt game from #7 to #3 which is bad timing for us. They are 3-0 for the first time since 2009. Their QB CJ Beathard sounds like a good player as he was just named co-Big 10 player of the week. He hails from Tennessee, 6-2, 205 and had an offer from Ole Miss. Looks like they have 8 Texans on their roster: http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/iowa-m-footbl-mtt.html
