Keys
Top 3 offensive players: Ben Chappell, QB, 1,827 passing yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions; Tandon Doss, WR, leads team with 54 catches for 716 yards; Darius Willis, RB, leads team with 405 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns
Top 3 defensive players: Jammie Kirlew, DE, leads team with 5 1/2 sacks; Matt Mayberry, LB, leads team with 71 tackles; Greg Middleton, DE, three sacks
Key to victory: IU got a big special-teams play from Ray Fisher last week against Northwestern, returning his second kickoff for a touchdown this season. The Hoosiers also gave one up when the Wildcats blocked a punt for a safety. Starting field position will be crucial against a defense that surrenders so few points like Iowa.
Injuries: DE Darius Johnson (shoulder), RB Zach Davis-Walker (foot), DB Chris Adkins (elbow), DT Jarrod Smith (back) out; S Jerimy Finch (hamstring), S Jarrell Drane (thigh) doubtful; DE Fred Jones (foot) questionable; LB Will Patterson (hand), CB Donnell Jones (elbow) probable

Keys
Top 3 offensive players: Ricky Stanzi, QB, averaging 214.4 passing yards, .571 percent completion percentage; Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, WR, 373 yards, one touchdown; Tony Moeaki, TE, 21 catches, four touchdowns
Top 3 defensive players: Pat Angerer, LB, 77 tackles; Adrian Clayborn, DE, six sacks; Tyler Sash, S, five interceptions
Key to victory: Iowa has relied on its defense for most of the season and will have to again. The Hawkeyes lead the country with 15 interceptions and are sixth nationally in turnover margin (plus 11). Offensively, Brandon Wegher will have to step up at running back for injured Adam Robinson, who was fourth in the Big Ten in rushing.
Injuries: RB Adam Robinson (ankle), OL Dace Richardson (leg) out
