An SB Nation preview predicts fewer than 20 points in Michigan-Iowa, a Michigan shutout and a 13-0 Wolverines win. The writer says Bryce Underwood’s running could be key, but Michigan must protect the ball to prevent turnovers from giving Iowa a chance to score.
The writer bases the low-score forecast partly on what they describe as both teams’ strong defenses, contrasting Iowa’s 55 points against Northern Iowa with 16 against Iowa State. Michigan beat UTEP 52-17 last week; the preview says its offense has improved since the opener against Western Michigan.
