Michigan has Blake Corum he is a big playmaker, he has 15 runs of over 10 yards. He has 64 carries with 478 yards and 9 TDs. He is a hard back to bring down with 19 missed tackles forced. Blake has 204 yards after contact as well this year.
The Wolverines have Ronnie Bell on the outside. He got hurt last year but is showing that he is healthy and still one of the most talented wideouts in the country. Roman Wilson lines up opposite of him and has big play ability with a 24.5 yard per reception average.
The defense is ranked 3rd on PFF. They are led by Mike Morris he has a 91.7 PFF grade and 3 sacks. The Wolverines are an excellent unit and run to the ball as a team. Junior Colson is the leading tackler on the team with 20.
They are 2-2 against the spread this year with a close game last week against Maryland.

The Hawkeyes offense is ranked 104th on PFF and led by quarterback Spencer Petras. He has a 55.2 passing grade this year on PFF. He has a big time play rate of 2% and has a turnover worthy play percentage of 3.5%.
Jordan Travis has an 1-2 TD to interception ratio on the year with 524 yards passing.
The Hawkeyes will use 3 RBs they are Leshon Williams, Kaleb Johnson and Gavin Williams. Kaleb Johnson has been the most productive of the backs but Leshon Williams has the most carries on the year.
Iowa as you can imagine has a very solid TE in Sam LaPorta. He leads the team in both catches and yards. At wideout they have Arland Bruce IV but neither players numbers jump out with QB Spencer Petras struggling to start the year.
Iowa is ranked 4th on PFF on the defensive side of the ball. They are led by Lukas Van Ness who will help to stop the run as his defensive run game stopping rate is 83.9% on PFF. Jack Campbell is another key leader on defense and will have his hands full trying to stop Michigan’s run game.

4* Free Wolverines vs. Hawkeyes NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
Iowa getting 11 points in what could be a close game seems like a good bargain. But it will all come down to can they move the ball or force a short field for the offense a time or two. I expect this to be a dog fight between two teams that will both want to show they can dominate at the line of scrimmage.
