It’s game time in Iowa City once again! After three weeks without football inside historic Kinnick Stadium, the Hawkeyes have returned home for a homecoming showdown with the Northwestern Wildcats.
In a wild twist of fate, the loser of today’s matchup will find themselves in last place in the Big Ten West. However, win or lose both teams will remain in the hunt for the Big Ten West title. This despite having decidedly losing records both in the conference and overall and both coming into the weekend riding long losing streaks.
Pat Fitzgerald has had Kirk Ferentz’s number over the years, and even year Northwestern has won the West the last two times.
