It feels like a broken record for most of the last 20 years. Northwestern goes out like gangbusters early in the season, only to drop the game that will stamp their season as being for real. Northwestern’s goose egg against Michigan last week was a loud thump.
This week, it is all about showing this season isn’t going off the rails completely. An undefeated Iowa awaits them, but it could be the perfect remedy to what took place last week.
