It’s week 10 of the 2029 college football season.
Your favorite team and mine, the Iowa Hawkeyes, are 8-0 and ranked No. 3 in the country heading into a road matchup at 5-2 Northwestern. Iowa wins the game easily, 28-13, but it’s closer than the week before, a 56-3 romp. Redshirt senior quarterback Ryan Cook struggled on the road, going 8/12 for 282 yards and 4 touchdowns, but threw a pair of interceptions.
Regardless, it’s another notch in the win column for head coach Matt Cabel, who was a controversial hire following Kirk Ferentz’s surprising retirement after his 7-6 2011 campaign, due to the fact that he had literally zero playing or coaching experience.
