This week on the Chuck Long Podcast, we open talking about the fact that it’s 40 years ago that Iowa beat Michigan in the #1 vs. #2 game in Iowa City and get his memories of that amazing moment in Iowa football history.

We then take a long look back at the Hawkeyes win over the Nittany Lions. We start with the performance by Mark Gronowski, who had a season high 130 yards rushing, including a key 67 yard run that set up the score that gave the Hawkeyes the lead in the fourth quarter.

We get Long’s thoughts on the play of Gronowski and how the Iowa ground game has become the identity of this team on offense and how well the Iowa offensive line is playing right now, along with the underrated running of Kamari Moulton. On the others side of things, what can Iowa do to get the passing game going?

Also, we discuss the Iowa defense getting their turnover machine going and the terrific play in the game by Xavier Nwankpa, who might have had his best game as a Hawkeye. Plus the pressure that Phil Parker continues to bring on defense and how that is paying off.

Then we look ahead to the Minnesota, who is this weeks opponent. How has P.J. Fleck tried to build a program that is modeled after Iowa? What do we expect in the battle for Floyd of Rosedale? Finally, we pick games for this week, including the Minnesota at Iowa contest.
