Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will have a healthier team this weekend when the Hawkeyes visit Michigan. Safety Kaevon Merriweather and corner Julius Brents are expected to play and offensive tackle Alaric  Jackson returned to practice. He suffered a sprained knee early in the season opener.

Ferentz says the positive side of early-season injuries is the Hawkeyes have built some depth.

Iowa has only won 15 of the 60 games in the series against Michigan and Ferentz says it is never easy winning on the road against one of the country’s premier programs. Pre-game at nine Saturday morning on 1230 KFJB.
