The year is 2020 and the hits keep on coming for these Iowa Hawkeyes.
Iowa raced to a 17-0 lead on Saturday afternoon, only to let Northwestern score three touchdowns in a row without a trip to the endzone themselves to drop to 0-2 on the year in a 21-20 loss. This is the first time Iowa started a conference season 0-2 since I don’t know when.
One week after a Purdue loss that featured zero Ihmir Smith-Marsette catches, the Iowa offense had itself a plan to get perhaps its most explosive player the ball early and often.
