EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern’s offense did too little, too late in a 17-12 loss to the No. 22 Iowa Hawkeyes.
The Wildcats (3-6, 1-5 B1G) dropped their third straight game — all of which have been against conference foes — while Iowa (7-2, 4-2 B1G) kept its slim Big Ten West hopes alive.
To open the ballgame, both teams started slowly, posting three-and-outs and combining for 16 yards on eight plays.
On NU’s second drive, Marty called his own number and dashed ahead for 11 yards on first down. After a near interception, the senior quarterback danced free yet again for another gain of 11.
