Kirk Ferentz was preaching optimism following Iowa’s disappointing loss at No. 2 Ohio State. One week later, it looks like some of that positivity sunk in with the Hawkeyes.
Iowa (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) delivered its most complete performance of 2022 in a 33-13 win over Northwestern and one of the biggest takeaways is that suddenly the next four weeks’ forecast doesn’t look quite so cloudy. For Hawkeye fans, football was fun again.
Iowa closes with four more against Big Ten West foes: at Purdue, versus Wisconsin, at Minnesota and versus Nebraska.
With things looking up following the victory, here was everything Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz had to say afterwards.
