The Iowa Speedbump
If you were to draw up a diagram for how Northwestern would lose to Iowa, you’d pretty much get the game we got Saturday night. The Hawkeyes acted as always like a boa constructor, wrapping around the offense until no one wants to play football anymore. The ‘Cats couldn’t run the ball at all, stalled out on the pass game, and were forced into a cascade of punts. Right when it seemed like Northwestern might have been able to find the tiniest fissure with a field goal, they immediately gave up an instantly touchdown on the ensuing kick return and any hope of a competitive game vanished.
