ANN ARBOR — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh says Iowa’s style of defense dates back to the early 1980s when Phil Parker played for Norm Parker at Michigan State. The 4th-ranked Wolverines look to stay unbeaten on Saturday with a visit to Kinnick Stadium.

KGLO News · 9 – 27 – Jhiowa – 1

Harbaugh says the key against the Iowa defense is to limit mistakes.

KGLO News · 9 – 27 – Jhiowa – 2

The Hawkeye defense faces a huge challenge this week from running back Blake Corum, who averages more than seven yards a carry and has scored nine touchdowns. Harbaugh says Corum’s biggest strength is his ability to make defenders miss.

Kickoff on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium is scheduled for 11 o’clock, with the pre-game on AM-1300 KGLO starting at 9 o’clock.
