Iowa is better tested from a defensive standpoint on the ground and via pass, than Northwestern? Iowa has likely faced more play-makers through the first six games compared to Northwestern.
Heck, Iowa played better FCS programs, though the Wildcats are 2-1 vs. Top 25 programs. Stanford game, imho, is misleading. The Cardinal left a lot of opportunities in that game. Northwestern at Duke ... 19-10.
Playing a tough, tight game could be troubling on Northwestern's homecoming game.
