Rapid Reaction: Northwestern comes up short in defensive slugfest, falling to Iowa 10-7

CHICAGO — Long live the Big Ten West.

In one of the more aesthetically displeasing games in Northwestern history, a 52-yard field goal with 14 seconds left from Drew Stevens lifted Iowa to a 10-7 victory (7-2, 4-2 B1G) over the Wildcats (4-5, 2-4 B1G) at Wrigley Field.

There wasn’t much offensive production from either team. Brendan Sullivan threw for 81 yards and a touchdown on 12-for-19 passing. Anthony Tyus II led the ‘Cats with 40 yards on 10 carries, with Cam Porter contributing 36 yards on 12 rushes. Bryce Kirtz was the leading receiver with 33 yards on three catches, including a touchdown.
