THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
-
Northwestern has won four of the last six matchups vs. the Hawkeyes, including each of the last three meetings at Kinnick Stadium. The last time the Wildcats won three-straight at Iowa was from 2006-09 (also won three-straight in a span from 1959-71), a win on Saturday would mark their program-record fourth-straight win at Kinnick. Dan and Susan Jones Family Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald is 6-3 at Kinnick Stadium since taking over in 2006. Northwestern's six wins at Iowa are tied with Wisconsin for the most by any team during that span.
- Evan Hull is one of just seven FBS players since 2000 to have 500+ rushing yards and 400+ receiving yards in his team's first seven games (also Travis Etienne, Clemson; 2020, Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis; 2019, Saquon Barkley, Penn State; 2017, Curtis Samuel, Ohio State; 2016, DJ Foster, Arizona State; 2014, Mewelde Moore, Tulane; 2001). Hull leads all running backs in the country this season with 364 yards after the catch. He also ranks second among all RBs in the nation with 436 receiving yards.
-
Bryce Gallagher ranks second in the Big Ten and 16th in the nation averaging a team-leading 10.0 total tackles per game so far this season. He is one of just
four Wildcats since 2000 to be averaging double-digit tackles through NU's first seven games of the season, joining Chris Bergin in 2021, Adam Kadela in 2007 and (current NU LBs Coach) Tim McGarigle in 2005. Gallagher recorded a career-high 16 total tackles at Maryland, along with a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss. He is just the third player in college football this season to record 15+ tackles and 2.5+ TFLs in a game, and just the second NU player this century to do so (joining his LBs coach, McGarigle).
