Every week during football season, we'll be reaching out to opponent SB Nation sites or opponent beat writers to give readers another perspective on Saturday's upcoming game.
This week, No. 20 Northwestern (5-1 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) is back home taking on the No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes (6-0, 2-0). It's a huge game in the Big Ten West title race, as the Hawkeyes currently hold the top spot in the division. To preview Iowa, we talked with RossWB of Black Heart Gold Pants.
Inside NU: There's really no other place to start this Q&A: Iowa is 6-0, a really impressive start that has included a win over Wisconsin at Camp Randall.
