It's the final regular season game of the year for both the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Minnesota Golden Gophers today. This year's game will take place at Kinnick Stadium, with an 11:00 am Kickoff on ESPN. The two Big Ten programs will face for their annual battle for the Floyd of Rosedale trophy.
The memories of Iowa's resounding 55-0 win last year in the final game of the Metrodome are long past, after Iowa's solid, but bitter sweet 9-2 campaign thus far in 2009. Both teams are bowl eligible, with Iowa (9-2) and Minnesota (6-5). Can a win today propel Iowa to a BCS at-large bowl bid? The Hawkeyes are 7-3 vs. the Gophers in the Kirk Ferentz era.
Look for the Hawkeyes to take care of business on Senior Day, continue to show resilience. It will be a tough game at times. Haven't they all been throughout the 2009 season for Iowa? But, Iowa usually gets it done, when the Golden Gophers come to town for Senior Day!
Iowa will honor 17 seniors today's as the take the field at Kinnick Stadium. Look for Iowa to get separation by the end of the game for another celebration with Floyd remaining in Iowa City for another year.
