IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Michigans unbeaten start has been built on a schedule loaded with home games in one of the nations most intimidating stadiums.The second-ranked Wolverines (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 3 CFP) will finally have to go on the road Saturday to face a tough opponent in Iowa, although the Hawkeyes (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) arent nearly as tough as they were expected to be. Michigan (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) has been on the road just twice, throttling Rutgers by 78 points and surviving Michigan State by nine on its way to the top of the league.But neither the Scarlet Knights nor the Spartans have won a Big Ten game. Iowa, even with all of its struggles , should present the heavily-favored Wolverines with a challenge unlike anything theyve seen so far this season.Not that theyre worried.Weve been here before, Michigan linebacker/defensive back Jabrill Peppers said. We know how to win now and what and what not to do. Its just part of growing up and maturing. We got a lot of savvy guys out there.Realignment has put a damper on this long-time league rivalry, which has been dormant since 2013. But the Hawkeyes have beaten Michigan at home three times in a row, and another victory would shake up the playoff picture and give a struggling Iowa program a major boost.Here are some of the keys to consider as Michigan and Iowa prepare to meet for the 60th time:JABRILL VS. DEZThis game will feature two of the nations best defenders in Peppers and Iowa cornerback Desmond King. Peppers is a finalist for nearly every award in the country and is on track for an invitation to the Heisman Trophy presentation, and King is the reigning Thorpe Award winner. But while King will finally get tested by an attack featuring Amara Darboh, Jehu Chesson and Jake Butt, Iowas receiving corps has yyet to prove it can test a decent defense.dddddddddddd Peppers, of course, is much more than a defender, too.Hes a really dynamic return guy, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. But he plays great on defense, and hes a threat offensively, too, so hes a tremendous football player. Thats such an unusual combination.SPEIGHTS MOMENTMichigan quarterback Wilton Speight has been fantastic, with 15 touchdowns, three interceptions and a completion percentage of 64.5. But this will be a road test for the junior, who helped Michigan win at Minnesota last year. This is where we expected to be, this is where we wanted to be, and were here, so its rewarding, Speight said. But theres a lot more to do.STRUGGLING HAWKEYESIowa won the Big Ten West in 2015 and was favored to do it again. But last weeks 41-14 loss at Penn State was a sobering reminder that this years team simply isnt as good. In life, you have peaks, you have valleys, Ferentz said. We all do, individually, collectively, and thats real life. Thats just the way it goes, and if you go out and compete in sports against good oppositions, youre going to experience the good and the bad.PLAYOFF SPECULATIONMichigans success has thrust the program into the seemingly endless conversation about the playoffs . But the Wolverines themselves arent talking much about the postseason just yet. Win the next game. Thats where we put our focus -- and rightfully so, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said.HE SAID ITIts really hard to find many cracks or weaknesses. -- Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, asked what Michigan gives opponents to exploit.---More college football from The Associated Press at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
