Entering Saturday, the Hawkeyes are 6-4 overall and 4-3 in Big Ten play. All four of Iowa's losses have been against teams ranked no lower than No. 17 at the time. It has a 6-0 record against unranked opponents.

MSU defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, who knows the Hawkeyes very well from his time in East Lansing and at Minnesota, said that Iowa plays complementary football as good as anybody in college football for years. It's never one of the more exciting teams to watch, but the Hawkeyes and head coach Kirk Ferentz are on the verge of their 13th straight winning season.

Iowa's strength, as it has been for years, is defense. Its offense is all the way down at 116th in yardage, but the defense ranks sixth.

Their defense is strong at stopping both the run and the pass, ranking 16th and sixth nationally, respectively.

Several standouts are in the secondary. Cornerback T.J. Hall's eight pass breakups are tied for the most in the Big Ten. Zach Lutmer, another corner, has intercepted two passes and has broken up another four. Safety Xavier Nwankpa is second on the team in tackles (59), has an interception, and two forced fumbles.

Special teams is also a strength of the Hawkeyes, with a kicker, Drew Stevens, who has a season-long of 58 yards, and a kick/punt returner, Kaden Wetjen, who has housed one kickoff and two punts this season.
