Through 3 Quarters
The Iowa Hawkeyes are on the board, but we're still waiting on the Minnesota Golden Gophers to respond. Three quarters in and Iowa's offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating Minnesota 14 to nothing three quarters in. The Hawkeyes have been led by RB Tyler Goodson, who so far has rushed for one TD and 139 yards on 18 carries.
Iowa has been a nightmare for Minnesota's offensive line with three sacks already. We'll see how many sacks Iowa can scare up the rest of the game.

What to Know
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 5-0 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers since November of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Friday. The Hawkeyes and Minnesota will face off in a Big Ten battle at 7 p.m. ET at TCF Bank Stadium. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Iowa simply couldn't be stopped last week, as they easily beat the Michigan State Spartans at home 49-7. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Iowa had established a 42-7 advantage. Iowa's RB Tyler Goodson was one of the most active players for the team, rushing for two TDs and 113 yards on 14 carries. Goodson's longest run was for 71 yards in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 269 more yards than your opponent like Minnesota did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They blew past the Illinois Fighting Illini 41-14. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Minnesota had established a 35-7 advantage. RB Mohamed Ibrahim had a dynamite game for the Golden Gophers; he rushed for four TDs and 224 yards on 30 carries.
The wins brought both teams up to an identical 1-2. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Hawkeyes enter the matchup with only 102 rushing yards allowed per game on average, good for 14th best in the nation. But Minnesota comes into the matchup boasting the 14th most rushing yards per game per game in the nation at 238.7. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
