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.
