Iowa Trailing at the Half

In typical Iowa fashion, the Hawkeyes trail Northwestern 14-10 at the half. Iowa already has 4 turnovers, one of which was a fumble recovered in the end zone by Northwestern for a touchdown. Iowa has come back to win every game this season, but this week will not be as easy. If they are going to come up with another second half rally, it may have to be without starting quarterback Ricky Stanzi. Stanzi injured his leg when he was tackled and fumbled the ball in the end zone in the second quarter. Stanzi went back to the locker room for further evaluation. Without Stanzi, Iowa will rely on backup James Vandenberg who has already thrown an interception that led to Northwestern's second score, and has looked shaky at best. We'll see if Iowa can pull another one out of the hat.
