As for Northwestern this year, the Wildcats are having a sensational campaign with transfer quarterback Aidan Chiles propelling a Chip Kelly-coordinated offense to great successes so far. However, Northwestern will enter the contest with bad taste in their mouths after a 34-26 loss at Oregon on Oct. 31.
Meanwhile, Iowa will arrive with renewed confidence after a stellar performance from quarterback Hank Brown against Wisconsin and a defense playing at its best at the perfect time.
