Evanston, Ill. - Northwestern took No. 22 Iowa down to the wire on Saturday night at Ryan Field, but couldn't complete the comeback in a 17-12 setback to the Hawkeyes.
Evan Hull continued his impressive sophomore campaign with a career-high six receptions out of the Northwestern backfield. His 31-yard touchdown made it a one-score game inside the final three minutes in Evanston.
Andrew Marty made his first start of the 2021 season, throwing for 270 yards and a touchdown. It was Marty's first start since Northwestern's 29-10 win over Illinois on Nov. 30, 2019.
