Iowa Hawkeyes Face Tough Road Test at Michigan: What to Know

The game at Michigan Stadium, also known as the Big House, is one of the most anticipated contests of the season for Iowa, and tickets are already available starting at $110.
The matchup comes amid a dramatic start to Michigan's season. The Wolverines opened with a controversial last-second victory over Western Michigan, a game many argued should not have gone their way. Michigan enters Week 2 ranked No. 24 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, while their upcoming opponent, Oklahoma, sits at No. 10.
