_____________ ________________________
Problems for both Iowa units. Justin Jackson got loose for 176 yards rushing, his season high, and Austin Carr tallied 3 TD catches for Northwestern. Meanwhile, Iowa's offense allowed 6 QB sacks and 9 TFLs. Other than Desmond King's returns, not much to be excited about for the Hawkeyes. Clearly, a ton of work to do in order to get the team back on track. On to the Y/N contest scores.........
The high score this week was shared by two contestants: Dauminator (8-2) and EvilMonkeyInTheCloset (8-2). Both finalist's entries were entered into the Tie-Breaker machine to determine which contestant more closely predicted CJ Beathard's total yards passing: 204. This week's winner is Dauminator (210) by a narrow margin over EvilMonkeyInTheCloset (217). The Monkey remains caged for another week.
