Maryland at Iowa

The Iowa Hawkeyes are a surprising 7-0, and appear to have a clear path to the Big-10 Championship game as an unbeaten team. Iowa has wins vs. Wisconsin and Pittsburgh, but caught a huge schedule break as they will not face Michigan, Michigan State, or Ohio State in the regular season. The Hawkeyes offense is a bit under the radar as they have totaled better than 400 yards in five of their seven games. The Hawkeyes run defense has allowed fewer than 85 yards in six of their seven games, and they have forced two or more turnovers in their last five. Maryland has been a turnover machine with 24 in their first seven games, and have averaged four in their last four games, and four of their five losses have come by 21 points or more. The problem Maryland faces here is that they are a good running team facing a strong run defense, and the Terrapins pass attack is very weak, and if they get behind the turnovers have become inevitable. Iowa fits some strong situations based on their unbeaten record, so play on Iowa.
