RECAP

The #4 Hawkeyes had visions of Pasadena dancing in their heads. For the Wildcats, it looks like Kinnick Stadium trips of old as they quickly fell into a 10-0 hole. Things turned around completely when Northwestern sacked Ricky Stanzi in the end zone, breaking his leg, and causing a fumble for a touchdown. Iowa failed to score the rest of the game, and their undefeated season was over.
