- Iowa (No. 21) visits Northwestern Saturday at Ryan Field — both teams are 6-2 and the Wildcats are a perfect 5-0 at home.
- Contrast of styles: Iowa boasts a stingy defense (12.5 points allowed, just 79 rush ypg) against Northwestern’s powerful ground game (200.9 rush ypg, second in the Big Ten).
- Key players to watch — Iowa’s Hank Brown is coming off a sharp game but must protect the ball vs. a team with eight interceptions; Northwestern will rely on Caleb Komolafe and big-play WR Griffin Wilde, especially with QB Aidan Chiles likely out.
