On this edition of the Monday Briefing, Dylan Callaghan-Croley recaps Minnesota’s gritty 13-10 upset over No. 15 Iowa to bring Floyd of Rosedale back to Minneapolis and officially complete the rivalry trophy sweep.

Dylan breaks down how Danny Collins’ defense out-Iowa’d Iowa for 60 minutes, Drake Lindsey’s clutch late-game scramble to set up Luke Drzewiecki's game-winner, and the growing concerns surrounding Greg Harbaugh Jr.’s offense heading into the home stretch. Plus, a deep dive into the backfield split between Darius Taylor, Xavier Ford, and TJ Thomas Jr., Minnesota's realistic path to bowl eligibility, and a full first look at this Saturday’s showdown against Curt Cignetti and the No. 4 Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington.
