Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz Previews Northwestern

Iowa City, Iowa — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes are only focused on getting a win at Northwestern.

Ranked second just a couple of weeks ago the Hawkeyes have tumbled to 19th and may have squandered the Big Ten west title with back-to-back losses to Purdue and Wisconsin.

Ferentz says after a 27-7 loss to the Badgers the Hawkeyes’ mental toughness will be tested.

Ferentz on the mental toughness required to bounce back from tough times.

The offense has been frustrated after averaging just 12 points over the last three games.

Ferentz says there is no reason to make changes to a young and struggling offensive line this late in the season.

running back Ivory Kelly-Martin will not play against Northwestern due to a foot injury and Ferentz says the Hawkeyes will still be without corners Riley Moss and Terry Roberts.
