IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa will need to come from behind yet again to maintain its perfect season.
And this time, the Hawkeyes might need to do it without starting quarterback Ricky Stanzi, who left the game with a right ankle injury.
Corey Wootton's sack of Stanzi has completely changed this contest. Stanzi was down for several minutes and eventually hobbled to the locker room. His backup, redshirt freshman James Vandenberg, entered the game and his first pass of the season went right to linebacker Quentin Davie for an interception.
Northwestern backup quarterback Dan Persa converted on an impressive drive and found Drake Dunsmore in the end zone for the go-ahead score, as the Wildcats lead 14-10.
If Stanzi doesn't return, Iowa could really be in some trouble.
