This weekend, Northwestern beat Iowa 22-17, giving them the best start they’ve had in 46 years.
Iowa’s Ricky Stanzi (see left) and the rest of the Iowa team just couldn’t get moving against Northwestern.
They’re one of the few teams to be 5-0, yet they aren’t on the top 25 list. Is this team underrated? So far, here’s how their season has gone:

Week One: Syracuse, 30-10 (home)

Week Two: Duke, 24-20 (away)

Week Three: Southern Illinois, 33-7 (home)

Week Four: Ohio, 16-8 (home)

Week Five: Iowa, 22-17 (away)

And here’s how the rest of their schedule looks:

10/11 – Michigan State (home)

10/18 – Purdue (home)

10/25 – …read more
