MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin quarterback Scott Tolzien has never met Iowa counterpart Ricky Stanzi other than on a football field. Yet he is surprised at their similarities.

Both fifth-year senior quarterbacks thrive on keeping their offenses in rhythm. They will face each other when No. 10 Wisconsin (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) travels to 13th-ranked Iowa (5-1, 2-0) on Saturday.

Tolzien is 16-4 heading into his 21st game as a starter. Stanzi is 23-5 with the Hawkeyes overall and was 17-4 in his first 21 starts.
