The Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Minnesota Gophers on Friday, Nov. 13 at TCF Bank Stadium. Here’s how to watch on TV or live stream the game.
The Iowa Football team (1-2) will cross the border to the north on Friday as they travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Gophers (1-2) in a fight for the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. Fresh off a win against the Michigan State Spartans, the Hawkeyes are looking to string together their first winning streak of the 2020 season.
After losing their first two games of the season, Iowa can get back to .500 with a victory under the lights Friday night. Recent history is on their side, as the Hawks have won five straight against Minnesota. Kirk Ferentz has a 15-6 record over the Gophers during his time as Iowa’s head coach.
Like Iowa, Minnesota is also coming off their first win of the season. And, just like Iowa, the Gophers are having a disappointing campaign relative to expectations entering the season. Coach P.J. Fleck has never defeated the Hawkeyes during his time at Minnesota. In fact, Iowa is the only Big Ten West team he hasn’t beaten.
As of Thursday morning, Iowa is a 3.5-point favorite, according to Action Network. The over/under for the game is 58 points.

We’ve seen some classic games in this rivalry, and Friday should be no different. Iowa Football doesn’t have the makeup of a 1-2 team, though a team’s record is often a reflection of talent. The Hawkeyes simply haven’t gotten out of their own way recently. They finally played a clean game last week and the result was a blowout win over Michigan State.
Expect Iowa to win their sixth straight over Minnesota, but it could be close. The running game should get going early, setting the blueprint for a classic Big Ten matchup.
