The Floyd of Rosedale traveling trophy is at stake on Saturday night at Kinnick. The bronze pig currently resides in Minneapolis as a result of Minnesota’s 51-14 win a year ago. The teams have battled for Floyd of Rosedale since a bet between the governors of the two states in 1935. Minnesota holds a 43-36-2 advantage with Floyd of Rosedale on the line.
OVER 100,000 EXPECTED ON SATURDAY
The Minnesota at Iowa football game on Saturday night is sold out, with a crowd of 70,585 expected. Earlier on Saturday, the Iowa wrestling program will host Oklahoma State in a dual meet in Kinnick Stadium to start the season. Over 35,000 tickets have been sold in advance of the 11 a.m. wrestling event.
"As a competitor, any time you lose like that it's embarrassing and you have a bitter taste in your mouth," said Iowa senior center Austin Blythe. "This week we understand who the opponent is and what's at stake. Preparing like we have the last nine weeks is big for us and it will help us go out and play well Saturday."
"This is a special team and we have a special thing going right now. We just have to continue to play well and win." - Iowa junior quarterback
The Hawkeyes have enjoyed nine "team wins" this season; Blythe called last year's debacle in Minnesota a "team loss."
"We have done a better job handling all the things that a football game can throw at you and understand that we have to play as an entire unit to be successful," Blythe said. "It is understanding that it is another opportunity to go out and win a game against a good opponent. This game means something, but we're going to prepare like every other week and try to get that W."
