IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa might not need a dramatic comeback today.
The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes finally are off to a fast start and lead Northwestern 7-0 with 12:32 left in the first quarter. After going nowhere on two plays, quarterback Ricky Stanzi had tons of time on third-and-long and found a wide-open Marvin McNutt for a 74-yard touchdown. McNutt badly beat Northwestern safety Brian Peters on the play.
Iowa also looks fired up on defense, as tackle Christian Ballard dropped Mike Kafka for his second sack of the season. Northwestern, also a slow-start team, has held true to form as it's been all Hawkeyes so far.
