Michigan leads 45-15-4 all-time, but the series has been more competitive in recent years.

Under Kirk Ferentz, the Hawkeyes are 7-9 against Michigan overall and 7-7 in regular season games.

Beating the Wolverines away from Kinnick Stadium has been tricky, however. The last time Iowa beat Michigan on the road or at a neutral site was 2010, when Ricky Stanzi and Derrell Johnson-Koulianos connected for three touchdowns in a 38-28 Hawkeye victory in Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines are 3-0 after a chaotic non-conference slate.

Michigan won in controversial fashion to open its season, defeating Western Michigan 13-12 on a last-second Hail Mary that was only possible after the video review team added one second back to the clock after the game appeared to be over.

Michigan is led by Kyle Whittingham, who is in his first season in Ann Arbor after 21 years at Utah. Whittingham brought over a few key players from Utah in the offseason, including leading receiver JJ Buchanan (266 yards on 15 catches).

The Wolverines' defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points in a game so far. They held Oklahoma to 10 points in a Week 2 matchup.
