Iowa safety Kaevon Merriweather says the defense must limit big plays to have any chance against fourth ranked Michigan. The Wolverines struck with two big plays early and clobbered the Hawkeyes 42-3 in last year’s Big Ten Championship.
Merriweather says the Hawkeyes must make the Wolverines go on extended drives.
As a native of Belleville, Michigan, Merriweather says this game has a lot of meaning for him.
Kickoff on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium is 11:00 a.m. We’ll have coverage on KJAN starting with pregame at 9:00 a.m.
Iowa State has been very good at bouncing back from a loss under Matt Campbell and that will be the goal this week against Kansas. The Cyclones are coming off a 31-24 loss in their Big 12 opener against Baylor.
That’s senior receiver Xavier Hutchinson who says this is a much improved Kansas team from the one the Cyclones beat 59-7 last season.
Hutchinson on the style of defense they will see from the Jayhawks.
Kickoff in Lawrence, KS on Saturday is 2:30 p.m.
Kansas coach Lance Leipold says his team is not concerned with the national rankings. Despite a 4-0 start to the season the Jayhawks are not ranked heading into this week’s game against Iowa State.
Leipold says the ISU program is one they have tried to model themselves after.
Leipold says Hunter Dekkers’ time in the Iowa State program has helped him adjust to the starting role.
Leipold says Dekkers’ has played well.
Kickoff in Lawrence Saturday is at 2:30 p.m.
