Match Preview: Ducks and Hawkeyes Ready for Historic Matchup

No. 6 Oregon and Iowa meet for the first time as Big Ten opponents in what promises to be a defensive battle. The Ducks arrive at Kinnick Stadium with a 7-1 record, while the Hawkeyes sit at 6-2 after dominating Minnesota 41-3 before their bye week.

Oregon's only loss came to Indiana, and the team remains in playoff contention. Iowa also eyes playoff positioning despite narrow defeats to Indiana and Iowa State. Both programs are refreshed after their bye weeks and hungry for critical wins.

Iowa's strength lies in its tough defense and physical play that forces extended drives. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore proved he can handle hostile environments with an overtime win at Penn State.
