Iowa City, Iowa — Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell says the 15th ranked Hawkeyes have embraced the role of underdog as they get ready to play second ranked Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game.
The Wolverines opened as a better than 10 point favorite to claim its first league title since sharing the championship with Iowa in 2004.
The Hawkeyes are 10-2 and Campbell says they are thrilled with the opportunity.
The Iowa defense has feasted on turnovers but will go up against a Michigan offense that protects the football.
Campbell says a two game losing streak midway through the season actually made the Hawkeyes stronger.
