Iowa brings back special helmets for trophy game vs. Minnesota
The Floyd of Rosedale is up for grabs on Saturday. It has been Iowa’s for 6 years straight but this game has bigger implications. The Hawkeyes will look to hang onto it when they host Minnesota.
In honor of Veterans Day, the Hawkeyes will have a blacked-out look with a fan-favorite helmet for the game.

It’s an all-black kit, but the Hawkeye logo on the helmet features the Stars and Stripes.
