Michigan football prepares for key matchup against Iowa in Big Ten

Summary

Michigan football, currently 3-0, is set to face Iowa in its first Big Ten game this Saturday. The Wolverines, coming off a 52-16 victory against UTEP, have several pressing questions regarding their performance. Quarterback Bryce Underwood aims to build on his recent success but must avoid fumbles. The team's running game faces a tough challenge against Iowa's 11th-ranked run defense, especially with the health of Jordan Marshall in question. Michigan's ability to start fast and win the turnover battle will be critical against a disciplined Iowa squad. Head coach Kyle Whittingham seeks his first Big Ten win after an upset against Oklahoma a few weeks ago.
