IOWA CITY — Iowa quarterback Deacon Hill says the way the Hawkeyes responded to a loss at Penn State has been a key to their 6-1 record. The Hawkeyes have won three straight since getting demolished by the Nittany Lions 31-0 and Hill will make his third start for the injured Cade McNamara on Saturday at home against Minnesota.

Hill passed for only 37 yards in a 15-6 win at Wisconsin and while he expects the passing game to improve it is important for him to limit mistakes.

Hill says the Gophers play a sound style of defense.

Iowa may be winning ugly but junior corner Cooper DeJean says the Hawkeyes don’t mind. Iowa is 6-1 despite having the worst offense in the country and only managed 37 passing yards in a 15-6 win at Wisconsin. They host Minnesota this week.

Iowa is winning with defense and special teams and DeJean says there is a growing confidence.

Kickoff on Saturday is scheduled for just after 2:30 with the pre-game at 12:30 on AM-1300 KGLO.
