On the offensive:
The Kain Colter-Venric Mark combo gave Iowa fits as Northwestern rushed for 349 yards. And the line did not allow a sack.
Getting defensive:
Tyler Scott notched his seventh sack and safety Ibraheim Campbell hit Keenan Davis so hard to break up a pass, NU linebacker David Nwabuisi joked: “It made me hurt.”
The number:
67. Left tackle Patrick Ward wore jersey No. 67 to honor former NU lineman Leon Brockmeier, who died of natural causes last month at age 34.
They’re still talking about:
How NU’s 28-3 lead almost evaporated. And Tyris Jones’ blocked punt. Jones didn’t even have to lay out to make the third-quarter rejection.
Looking ahead:
Northwestern is off Saturday before traveling to Ann Arbor for a Legends Division clash with Michigan.
