Northwestern (3–4) needs to quickly turn the page after a dreadful loss to Wisconsin, so Zach welcomes on KCRG TV-9’s Jack Lido to take a look at the 'Cats eighth opponent of the season: Iowa. The pair discuss how the Hawkeyes' season took a rather dour turn with a surprise loss at Michigan State (2:28), before diving in on some individual scouting reports—beginning with Iowa's QB Cade McNamara (13:00). Next, they talk about the impressive rise of running back Kaleb Johnson (20:06) and what's happened with a usually stout Kirk Ferentz defense (26:40). Finally, they move into discussing the various keys to the game for both teams coming off disappointing losses (37:20) and make their picks for the Saturday mid-afternoon showdown in Iowa City (42:46).
