We’re just five games into the season, but Iowa’s facing its third trophy game already. The Hawkeyes are going for a senior sweep of Floyd of Rosedale on Saturday.

Many of the national experts that turned an eye toward the Hawkeyes’ last game against Wisconsin stuck around to make predictions for Iowa-Minnesota this week. And the overwhelming majority of national, regional and local predictors are picking one team. 

But I don’t want to completely spoil it, so let’s get right to the selection show.

The Hawkeyes’ first road test of the season comes against a Minnesota team that has decent young talent, much of it still trying to figure out what it takes to compete in the Big Ten. This is a match-up where Iowa’s defensive line should be able to create some havoc and where the Hawkeyes’ backfield trio of Ivory Kelly-Martin, Toren Young and Mekhi Sargent should find room to run against a defense which surrendered 315 rushing yards to Maryland two weeks ago. Expect the Hawkeyes to bring home the bacon for a fourth straight year.

Irrelevant prediction
@Hawkologist
And finally, the totally irrelevant prediction based on playing EA Sports’ NCAA Football 2004 on a PS2, as is the tradition since 2015.
Ryan Jaster: Hawkeyes 32, Minnesota 28. The Golden Gophers build a 21-6 lead off of two interceptions — one returned 90 yards for a touchdown — a surprisingly dominant run game and a missed extra point. Iowa fights back through the air, with the tight ends finishing with 198 yards and three touchdowns. A fumble recovery sets up the penultimate touchdown, and a 1-yard fullback plunge with 5 seconds left gives the Hawks their first and final lead.

Prognosis: The predictions above are as one-sided as it gets. I was surprised when Northern Iowa didn’t get a token vote by a rebellious expert, but no one is picking Minnesota at home in a rivalry game? That’s a surprise… or is it an omen? Either way, no pain predicted. None. 29-0. Just more of this.
