WATCH: Iowa drops thrilling 'Battle for Floyd' hype video ahead of showdown with Minnesota
Iowa is getting set to take on Minnesota Saturday afternoon, and this “Battle for Floyd” hype video is the perfect way to get ready!
The Iowa-Minnesota rivalry is one of the oldest around, and the trophy awarded to the winner is awesome. Floyd of Rosedale is a bronze trophy in the shape of a pig named after former Minnesota Governor Floyd B. Olson that is given to the winner each season.
The Hawkeyes have dominated the series of late, winning three straight and 13 of the last 17 matchups. However, the past three games have been decided by seven points or less, and Saturday’s game could be another tight one.
Iowa will look to make it four straight and keep the trophy in Hawkeye territory for another year. Hawkeye Football shared a hype video for the rivalry contest ahead of kickoff, and it is an awesome way to get ready for the game:
