EVANSTON, Illinois -- Northwestern picked up right where it left off in its40-10 loss Saturday.
Coming off a 38-0 beatdown at the hands of Michigan last week, the No. 20 Wildcats (5-2 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) surrendered the first 16 points to the No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) on Saturday. Despite cutting the lead to 16-10 before halftime, Northwestern then couldn't answer Iowa's 24-straight second-half points.
The Hawkeyes dominated the line of scrimmage as running back Akrum Wadley -- in place of Iowa starter Jordan Canzeri, who left the game with an injury -- ran for 207 yards and four touchdowns.
