The Hawkeyes will try to even their conference record when they take on Northwestern (0-5 2-7) this weekend at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa started Jake Christensen at QB for the injuried Drew tate. Iowa football fans got a glimpsie of what the new 3 years are going to be like. Jake went 19 completions out of 30 attempts for 256 yards 2 TD and a interception that was not his fault.
