Minnesota vs Iowa Preview
The Golden Gophers are coming off their third loss of the season, falling to Illinois, 14-6, last week. Minnesota couldn’t find a way to put points on the board, failing to score at all over the three quarters. Quarterback Tanner Morgan didn’t have his best game, completing 15 of 28 passes for 180 yards and two interceptions. The Gophers had a solid day on defense, allowing the Illini just 265 total yards, but Minnesota only managed 89 yards rushing, and just couldn’t get it going offensively. Morgan’s two picks also hurt.
“I think that’s the name of the game. You have to win the turnover battle here. You have to in a rivalry game especially, but anytime you play Iowa when you watch them play defense, all 11 guys in somehow and someway have their eyes are on the football. And you don’t see that very much from teams,” Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck said after the loss.
Now, Minnesota faces a daunting task against a tough Iowa team that is scoring 24.4 points a game, while being ranked fifth in the nation in defense, allowing 15.7 points per contest.
“They do what they do and they’ve done what they’ve done forever on defense, and they’re very good at what they do. Everybody knows the role. They get really smart players, and they all keep their eyes on the quarterback, so everybody can make a play. Everybody can make a play from the nose guard to the three technique to the ends to linebackers to the secondary. Everybody has a chance to be able to make a play and make a huge impact on the game. And they’re very good at what they do,” Fleck added.
The Hawkeyes are fresh from a 17-12 win over Northwestern last weekend. Iowa intercepted Northwestern quarterback Andrew Marty three times, and the defense held the Wildcats to 93 yards rushing. The Hawkeyes have been dealing with issues in offense, however.
Iowa is set to have a change at QB in this game, as starter Spencer Petras is out with an injury, so backup Alex Padilla will get the nod.
“Based off what I’ve seen for two days, he’s handled himself well. I don’t want to call Alex low-key, but he’s a pretty steady, even-keeled person. And that helps at that position, certainly,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said about Padilla this week. “You hope guys are going to step up and do a good job. I had no reason to think he wouldn’t, but players still have to do it. I thought Alex just kept a real clear head and kept a good demeanor about him. And really executed things pretty well for us. There’s no better way to learn than being thrown into a game.”
