The Iowa Hawkeyes (4-3) face off against the Northwestern Wildcats (3-4) in a game that doesn’t even have enough juice to be named the Sickos Committee Game of the Week. Such is life when the offense can be really bad and still put up 3 touchdowns. The Wildcats have operated as you would expect. 1-3 in conference, tied for 13th (ahead of newbies UCLA & USC), 17th in PPG (19.0) & 9th in OPPG (19.6). Iowa is behind them at 19.7.
David Braun is in his second year after Pat Fitzgerald was let go.
