Iowa aims to take back Floyd from Minnesota and avenge last year’s loss on the invalid fair catch

Associated Press  

Iowa at Minnesota, 7:30 p.m. BetMGM College Football Odds: Iowa by 2½. The Gophers won in Iowa City last season for the first time since 1999, a 12-10 victory that was preserved when Hawkeyes punt returner Cooper DeJean’s go-ahead touchdown was controversially negated by an invalid fair-catch signal with 1:21 remaining. The Gophers would give themselves a golden opportunity to hang tough in the expanded Big Ten with a win against Iowa, with daunting games against Michigan and USC waiting in the next two weeks. Minnesota: PK Dragan Kesich, who had four field goals at Iowa last year to account for all of the scoring for the Gophers, had a rough start to the season with two misses in the 19-17 opening loss to North Carolina including a 47-yarder as time expired that would’ve won the game. Last season, the Hawkeyes had only 10 runs of 25-plus yards over 14 games.. Iowa DE Ethan Hurkett is coming off the best game of his career: two sacks and two forced fumbles against Troy.. Gophers WR Daniel Jackson is seeking to lead the team in receiving yards for a third straight year.
