Usually homecoming week is an extremely fun time. There’s a home football game and former players come back to Iowa City to watch. This year, the Iowa Hawkeyes are taking on a good opponent in Northwestern that should provide the crowd with a good game. For a senior, it’s even better. It’s their last homecoming and there’s no better time to get the season back on track.
For Matt VandeBerg, it could not have been any worse. The senior wide receiver broke his foot in practice on Monday and is now out indefinitely. Kirk Ferentz told media that there is a chance he could return for a bowl game, although even that is up in the air.
