The Hawkeyes are fying high after starting the season 1-0 in Big Ten play.
Iowa was able to overcome a sloppy first half by the defense to take down Rutgers in a gritty win last Friday night.
The offense and special teams units had stellar performances, led by quarterback Mark Gronowski and wide receiver Kaden Wetjen.
Wetjen tallied 167 total return yards, including a touchdown on the opening kickoff. Gronowski finished last Friday's game with 186 passing yards and added 55 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
A significant factor in the Iowa offense's success over the past few games has been the play of the offensive line.
According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), the Iowa offensive line is the highest-graded unit over the first four weeks of the season, and it is not close.
The offensive line's 97.1 overall grade is 10.6 points higher than then next closest unit.
The offensive line unit knows they are facing their toughest challenge of the season to date on Saturday, and are ready for a raucous Kinnick crowd.
During offensive lineman Logan Jones' media availability this week (posted by "247Sports"), he knows they are facing a tough challenge against No. 11 Indiana, but he is excited for the challenge.
Jones was adamant that offensive coordinator Tim Lester has everyone on the same page and tries to get everyone involved.
The belief that Lester has in them inspires them to believe in each other, and they also know they will get a boost from the Hawkeye faithful in Kinnick Stadium.
Jones stated that anytime you play in Kinnick, it is crazy, and he expects that same energy this weekend while the Hoosiers are in town.
Jones and the offensive line unit are ready for the challenge, and he is confident that this will not be an easy game for Indiana.
