Game 7: Iowa

Iowa
Illinois football hits the halfway point in Big Ten play Saturday as it faces the Hawkeyes as favorites in Iowa City. It will be the first time this season the Illini (5-1, 3-0) plays as a team ranked in the top 25 (#18 in the AP). Iowa (2-4, 0-3) has not recovered since going down to Iowa State on a last-second field goal, losing to every team in conference Illinois has played and beaten thus far (Wisconsin, Indiana, Penn St). Illinois has enjoyed a week full of positive national exposure and Heisman mention for Rashard Mendenhall. Iowa - Illinois thread. Official preview. Filed under: Illini Football, Iowa Hawkeyes
