-- Senior FB Brett Morse is listed as the starter. He dressed but did not play in the Michigan game. He has a lower back strain. He spent time out on the field in the pregame running through stretching and sprint drills with strength coach Chris Doyle.
-- No MLB Jeff Tarpinian. So, Troy Johnson is still the MLB with James Morris backing up.
-- DT Mike Daniels is in the lineup. He left last week's game with an elbow. I remember Iowa sideline reporter Rob Brooks say that Daniels was ready to go back into the game after his injury.
-- ABC (HD) will televise the contest to a regional audience. Fans not in the ABC regional footprint can view the game on ESPN (HD). Sean McDonough, Matt Millen and Heather Cox will call the action.
-- In the rankings: Iowa is ranked 12th in the USA Today coaches poll and 13th by the Associated Press. Wisconsin is ranked 10th in the AP and 11th in the coaches' poll. The Hawkeyes are 15th in the initial BCS rankings, while Wisconsin is 13th. Around the Big Ten, Ohio State is ranked 11/10 (AP/Coaches), Michigan State is 8/8 and Northwestern and Michigan are receiving votes in both polls. Nonconference opponent Arizona is ranked 15/18.
-- Iowa in the BCS rankings: Iowa is ranked 15th in the initial BCS rankings. Iowa was ranked in each of the eight BCS rankings in 2009, including an all-time high of fourth on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2. Iowa ended last season ranked 10th in the Dec. 6 fi nal poll. Iowa was also ranked in the BCS top 25 seven weeks in 2004 and eight weeks in both 2002 and 2003. Iowa was ranked once during the 2006 season. Prior to this season, Iowa appeared in the BCS top 25 on 32 occasions.
The BCS rankings are a combination of the Harris Interactive poll, the USA Today coaches' poll and computer rankings. Iowa is 17th in the computer rankings and 12th in both the coaches' poll and the Harris poll.
-- Hawkeye win streak: Iowa has won 20 of its last 23 games and 22 of 26, dating back to the middle of the 2008 season. Iowa had a 19-4 stretch from the 2001 Alamo Bowl through the first nine games of the 2003 season. Iowa posted a 19-2-2 mark between 1956-58 and also won 21 of 25 games in that stretch. Iowa's school record of 20 straight wins occurred between 1920-23.
-- By the way, the winner of the Bull on Saturday gets to keep it for three years until 2013. Iowa and Wisconsin don't meet in 2011 and 2012.
