Live scores, highlights and updates from the Minnesota vs. Iowa football game

The Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Iowa Hawkeyes are set to square off in a Big Ten matchup at 4 p.m. ET Nov. 19 at Huntington Bank Stadium. These two teams have allowed few points on average (Minnesota 13.1, Iowa 13.9), so any points scored will be well earned.

A well-balanced attack led the Golden Gophers over the Northwestern Wildcats every single quarter on their way to victory last week. Minnesota made easy work of Northwestern and carried off a 31-3 win. Minnesota's RB Mohamed Ibrahim was on fire, rushing for three TDs and 178 yards on 36 carries.

Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes bagged a 24-10 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers last week. No one had a standout game offensively for Iowa, but they got scores from DB Cooper DeJean and RB Kaleb Johnson.

Iowa's defense was a presence, as it got past Wisconsin's offensive line to sack QB Graham Mertz four times for a total loss of 20 yards. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.

This next contest is expected to be close, with Minnesota going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Minnesota, who are 4-4 against the spread.

Last year, the Golden Gophers and the Hawkeyes were a perfect match, playing to nothing to nothing and nothing to nothing draws. We'll see if either team manages to gain an advantage this time around.
