The Floyd of Rosedale trophy
In this Sept. 28, 2013, file photo, Iowa defensive lineman Carl Davis (71) carries Floyd of Rosedale trophy to fans after Iowa beat Minnesota 23-7 in an NCAA college football game in Minneapolis. As the Iowa-Minnesota rivalry is renewed, with the Gophers trying to regain possession of that prized bronze pig after two straight wins in the series by the Hawkeyes, this game is for more than just the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. It's one of several head-to-head matchups this month that will shape the Big Ten West race.

The coveted Floyd of Rosedale trophy will be on the line tomorrow when the University of Minnesota Golden Gopher football team hosts the Iowa Hawkeyes at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Howard Sinker, a digital sports editor for the Star Tribune, about the trophy rivalry and the importance of the game.
