Their one loss came at home to Ohio State, 14-31, after four straight wins including a road win at Michigan. Washington is averaging 26.6 points per game but has allowed 27 and 25 in back-to-back losses, to Minnesota at home and USC on the road. The Huskies have not closed out close games, dropping a 24-27 decision at home and then sliding 21-25 at USC.
Recent Meeting
The one meeting on record from the last eight seasons was not close: Iowa beat Washington 40-16 in Iowa City in October 2024. That result puts history firmly in the Hawkeyes' corner coming into this trip to Husky Stadium. Washington will need to show it can defend better than it has in its last two outings to flip that narrative Friday night.
How to play it
Iowa's defense has been legitimate this season, and the Hawkeyes have already won on the road this year. The community signal will sharpen once orders post, so watch the board.
