2. They Play Mistake Free Football

Iowa enters this game at 10-2 in a season that has seen them come back from two-score deficits multiple times. Even when the cards have been stacked against them they’ve been able to rally. How so?

By forcing and capitalizing on turnovers. That’ll be their hope and prayer come Saturday as well.

As we’ve alluded to the Hawkeye game plan is simple: force Michigan football into turnovers and capitalize on them.

However, there’s one small problem with that plan. Michigan doesn’t turn the football over.

To date, the Wolverines have only thrown 5 interceptions (one of which was thrown but fourth-string QB Alan Bowman in mop-up duty) and lost four fumbles.

Michigan football has proven time and time again throughout this season that they take care of the rock and don’t put it in harm’s way.

That won’t change in this game either with the Big Ten title on the line.
