FOUR FACTORS IN REVIEW: IOWA AT NORTHWESTERN

Seven weeks, seven wins. Iowa is up to #12 headed into the much needed off week and have 5 winnable games ahead. I'm excited.

I did pick Iowa to win, so I did a little better than others. But I totally missed the mark on how this game would play out. All of my doubts about the offense that led me to believe this would be a defensive battle were unfounded. I didn't even really talk about the run game on Friday and then Akrum Wadley went off for 200+ yards and 4 TDs.

And besides a blip in the second quarter when Northwestern got a few big plays on 3rd downs and pulled within 6 before the end of the half, Iowa dominated the game.
