Three matchups to watch ahead of Northwestern vs. Iowa

After achieving an upset victory over Maryland, Northwestern is once again at .500 and in the thick of the competition to make a bowl game.

The ‘Cats are looking to continue their winning ways, while the Hawkeyes hope their bye week gave them enough time to recover from their loss to Minnesota two weeks ago. Here are three matchups to watch for in this Big Ten West showdown.
