“Iowa-Purdue rivalry has always been keen, and the tilt with the Hawkeyes this fall is expected to mark one of the high spots of the season,” wrote the Journal & Courier, in reference to the 1930 game found in The Athletic article.
Behind Minnesota and Wisconsin, the Iowa-Purdue series ranks third for the Hawkeyes in games played at 90.
In 2018, Northwestern won the Big Ten West ultimately fueled by an opening season win at Purdue. Of course, the next three weeks were ugly for Wildcats. There is no taking off weeks in 2020, with an 8 +1 game only B1G season.
Week 1 is going to be interesting with two showdowns in the State of Indiana. Up in Bloomington, it is Penn State at Indiana, which could be a trap game for the Nittany Lions, who have managed two straight one possession wins over the Hoosiers. The Nittany Lions potential problem "adjusting to 4 new assistants, including OC" in 2020?
Iowa released their preseason depth chart today. Kirk Ferentz already shared it is wrong. Two OL, lol, were mentioned today during the mini-media day.
Iowa and Purdue both gave Urban Meyer a little payback, before he moved on to his better gig at FOX Sports. Frankly, he is worthy of a good listen now.
Moving to the West for 2020.
The coaches announced today, if the game was played right now, Coy Cronk would be the starting RT for Iowa, opposite all Big Ten candidate LT Alaric Jackson. Iowa should have a very solid O-Line, for new QB Spencer Petras in his debut at Purdue.
