Down Goes Iowa

The Iowa Hawkeyes could not come from behind this week against the Northwestern Wildcats. Until today, Iowa had trailed in every game but was able to come back and win every time. The constant turnovers and playing from behind, however, finally caught up with them. They played the end of the first half and the entire second half without starting QB Ricky Stanzi and could never get the rally going. Northwestern played the majority of the game with their backup QB on the field as well. Iowa, while undefeated, has looked very beatable all season. They still control their own destiny in the race for a Big Ten title and Rose Bowl appearance, but their hopes of a BCS title are now gone.
