Most of our staff has the Wildcats handing the Hawkeyes their first loss of the year
Northwestern suffered their first loss of the season last week to a Michigan team that is currently soaring up the rankings, but the Wildcats return home this weekend for a crucial matchup with the Big Ten West-leading Iowa Hawkeyes. It's also the homecoming game for this year, and the Wildcats will be rocking some pretty cool throwback uniforms to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the 1995-96 Rose Bowl team.
There's no better homecoming opponent, it seems, than the Hawkeyes, one of Pat Fitzgerald's most hated teams and a team that would provide a huge opportunity for the Wildcats to get on the inside track on the road to the Big Ten Championship game.
