Iowa prepares for another tough test against Purdue

The tenth-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes return to Big Ten action this weekend with a visit to 14th-ranked Purdue. This begins a tough three-game stretch for the Hawkeyes to close out the regular season.Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says the play of Altoona native Kyle Orton at quarterback has been a big plus for the Boilermakers. He says we all saw last year what a good team they are. Ferentz says Orton clearly runs the football team now.The Hawkeyes limited mistakes early in the season but with ten fumbles and six interceptions now stand a minus-one in turnover margin. Ferentz says that’s been the story of the season, when they protect the ball they’ve won, and lost turnovers in the two losses.
