Iowa had been in Fernando Mendoza’s face all day, tallying 16 total quarterback pressures and harassing the Heisman hopeful into an uneven performance. So it came as no surprise with the everything on the line — tie game, less than two minutes left, 3rd and 10 for IU at the Iowa 49 — the Hawkeyes brought the house. There was no doubt Iowa’s pressure was having an impact.  Mendoza threw his first interception of the season on the prior drive, and he had as many incompletions in the game (10) as he had in the three prior games combined. Desperately…

Iowa’s injury includes leading rusher Jaziun Patterson, who is out for Saturday’s…

Cameron can’t help but notice similarities between the coaching styles of Cignetti and Knight. “This is as big of a compliment that I can give a…

When the Hoosiers confront 70,000 black and gold clad Hawkeye fans for a homecoming tussle in Iowa City Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET, Peacock), they should be ready for the real thing. “It’s loud, obnoxious,” center Pat Coogan said on Tuesday of the practice noise. “It rings your ears. We had it for the whole two hours. No breaks because you won’t get any breaks on Saturday. It’s good preparation for us.” 10 months ago, 10-0 Indiana wasn’t…
