Iowa had overcome seemingly every manner of adversity en route to its 9-0 start -- last-second deficits, four-interception quarters, season-ending injuries to two running backs -- but Saturday against Northwestern, the Hawkeyes finally suffered a setback they couldn't overcome: Losing their starting quarterback.
Corey Wotton's fumble-inducing sack of Ricky Stanzi in the Hawkeyes' end zone early in the second quarter of Northwestern's 17-10 upset of the BCS's fourth-ranked team completely changed the scope of the game and, ultimately, Iowa's season. Marshall Thomas recovered the fumble for a Wildcats touchdown -- and Stanzi stayed on the ground, eventually limping off with an ankle injury that would leave him on crutches the rest of the day.
