MADISON, Wis. — Iowa football embarrassed Wisconsin last season at Kinnick Stadium, destroying the Badgers 42-10.
For programs perceived to be on the same level of the Big Ten’s hierarchy historically, that was a jarring result.
In 2025, it was a different location, but similar outcome.
It was pure domination by the Hawkeyes , who leave Madison with a 37-0 win.
The Hawkeyes came flying out of the gate, forcing three turnovers in the first 16 minutes of game time. By roughly midway through the second quarter, Iowa already led by 20 points. This is not a good Wisconsin team, but Iowa made the Badgers look very bad.
A major storyline in the game was the fact that Iowa simply overpowered Wisconsin the trenches. The Hawkeyes’ offensive line, in particular, was outstanding. Meanwhil
