Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski says the bye week helped his ailing knee. The Hawkeyes will be looking to post an upset on Saturday when they host sixth ranked Oregon.

Gronowski expects the Ducks to try and limit his ability to run. Gronowski has rushed for 11 touchdowns and is a major factor in the Hawkeyes averaging more than 185 yards on the ground.

Gronowski says the Hawkeyes are excited for the opportunity.
