Iowa has lost a few nail-biters the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, Penn State needed a last second touchdown to knock off the Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium. Last Saturday, they fell to Michigan State in East Lansing by a touchdown.
Illinois is also coming off back-to-back losses, but the Illini’s defeats have been a little more lopsided, falling by three touchdowns to USF and Nebraska.
