Prior to the Wisconsin game a lot of non-Iowa fans were saying that Iowa hasn't played any competition. Iowa has 3 wins against Power 5 conference teams and each of them is ranked in the Top 25 currently in total defense (yards allowed) nationally. Iowa's offense did enough to win Saturday and the defense was opportunistic and typical "bend don't break" style.
Total Defense (Nationally)
#3 Pittsburgh
#21 Iowa State
#22 Wisconsin - also #4 scoring defense
Illinois is ranked #36 in Total Defense and #23 in Scoring Defense ... another good test for Iowa.
Northwestern is #10 in Total Defense and #1 in Scoring Defense ...
This is Big Ten football!!!
