Oregon visits Iowa in defensive showdown | JQJO

With a playoff case to make, No. 6 Oregon (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) visits Iowa (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Oddsmakers list Oregon -6.5, total 40.5. The Ducks’ field-stretching offense rides QB Dante Moore’s ball security, but trench questions linger after Indiana held them to 81 rushing yards. Iowa leans on control and a top-tier defense allowing 4.4 yards per play, with QB Mark Gronowski steering a deliberate run game. The preview leans under—Kinnick’s pace, limited explosives, and late-game defensive tightening suggest points will be scarce, with even a second-half under worth a look.
