We’re less than a day away from Iowa’s week two matchup with the Northwestern Wildcats and Hawkeye fans everywhere are anxiously waiting to get the taste of last week’s frustrating loss out of their mouths. Northwestern, meanwhile, is fresh off a 43-3 pounding of Maryland and their fanbase is waiting to see if that was more a function of a strong Wildcat team or hot garbage in Maryland.
Weeks ago, when local sports books released the early line for this one, the Hawkeyes were 14-point favorites. No Iowa fan in their right mind would be expecting such a line now.
