Illinois coach Lovie Smith should not have much trouble getting his team ready for Saturday’s game against Iowa.
Two years ago the Hawkeyes posted a 63-0 victory in Champaign and Iowa has won six straight in the series.
Illinois has won two straight but had last week’s game against Ohio State cancelled because of a Buckeyes’ COVID outbreak.
Smith says Iowa has won four straight using a traditional blueprint: a ball control offense and a stingy defense.
