Riley Donald's Quick Thoughts

It's mid-November. It's Kinnick Stadium. It's going to be a night game. Temperatures are going to be at or below freezing. This is Big Ten and Iowa Hawkeyes weather. This is what you want when you are the Hawkeyes for a game you have to have. This setting is everything that Iowa is built upon.

I don't believe in style points when you play in the Big Ten and are trying to move to 8-2. That said, this is the opportunity for Iowa to put together a complete, four-quarter performance to announce itself even louder and create more College Football Playoff noise.

Iowa is going to be prepared and focused. Kinnick Stadium is going to be rocking. The stage is set, and the Hawkeyes have to go own the moment.
