Hawkeyes prepare to stop "Great Dane"

November 9, 1999 By admin

Madison, Wisconsin is about the last place the Iowa Hawkeyes need to visit right now. Winless in the Big Ten, the Hawkeyes visit a 9th-ranked Wisconsin team that has plenty to play for. Running back Ron Dayne needs 99-yards to become the all-time leading rusher in division-one and with a victory the Badgers would clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title.Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says slowing down Dayne is a must if the Hawkeyes want to have a chance but keeping him from breaking the record is a long-shot.Ferentz was an assistant with the Baltimore Ravens last season and feels Dayne has proven he can play in the N-F-L.Mistakes in special teams proved costly against Illinois and Ferentz says those areas need to be more sound.Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez says they hope Dayne gets the record but a win is foremost in their mind.Alvarez says the record would be a tremendous accomplishment for Dayne.Alveraz says while the Badgers are heavily favored they are taking nothing for granted.
