Wisconsin and Iowa clash for bowl eligibility with Sullivan starting at QB for Hawkeyes

Wisconsin and Iowa face off with bowl eligibility on the line. The winner will secure a spot, while the loser will have three more chances to reach six wins. Wisconsin lost to Penn State, ending a three-game win streak, while Iowa won against Northwestern. A key matchup will be Wisconsin's run defense against Iowa's run game. Wisconsin has struggled against the run, ranking last in the Big Ten, while Iowa's Kaleb Johnson leads the conference in rushing yards. Iowa will start Brendan Sullivan at quarterback after Cade McNamara was sidelined due to a concussion. Sullivan performed well in relief last week, contributing to Iowa's recent success. This matchup marks the third consecutive year both teams are unranked.
