Michigan football enjoyed a comfortable win over UTEP to close its non-conference slate with an unblemished record, but as Kyle Whittingham acknowledged, "the gauntlet starts this week." The Wolverines host 17th-ranked Iowa on Saturday at the Big House on Saturday as Big Ten play begins. Kickoff is set for 3:36 p.m. ET, and the game will air nationally on CBS.  The Hawkeyes are making their first trip to the Big House since 2019 and just their third since 2012. They're seeking their first conference road victory over a ranked opponent since 2015. David Eickholt of The Hawkeye Insider on 247Sports joins the show to tell us what to expect from them in the Big Ten opener.
