WATCH: Spectacular grab by Chris Autman-Bell sets up Minnesota's first TD against Iowa
Minnesota is off and running against Iowa with Floyd of Rosedale up for grabs!
The rivalry between the two schools is one of the oldest in the country. It has been an especially close battle each of the past three seasons with Iowa on a current three-game win streak in the series.
The Hawkeyes are once again favored in the game Saturday, but the Golden Gophers will not go quietly. They got on the board with a touchdown in the first quarter that was set up by this impressive catch from Chris Autman-Bell. QB Zack Annexstad threw the ball up top and Autman-Bell made the play over the defender.
