It did not seem possible a few weeks ago but Iowa is in the hunt in the Big Ten West after a 24-10 win over Wisconsin.
An Iowa win at Minnesota coupled with an Illinois loss at Michigan this week puts the Hawkeyes in the driver’s seat heading into the final week.
That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. Less than three weeks ago the Hawkeyes were 3-4 after a 54-10 loss at Ohio State but Ferentz said at that time he was still confident the Hawkeyes could finish strong.
