Iowa football vs. Northwestern: How to watch the Hawkeyes' game at Wrigley Field
Iowa enters the final month of the 2023 regular season with plenty of question marks after the news of Brian Ferentz's planned departure, but the Hawkeyes still have meaningful games to play this year.
Iowa (6-2, 3-2 in Big Ten play) is in a four-team tie for the Big Ten West lead with four games remaining. Up next: a neutral site game vs. a surprisingly feisty Northwestern team (4-4, 2-3 in Big Ten play) that is coming off a 33-27 win over Maryland.
