Backup
quarterback Nicco Marchiol started for the injured Aidan Chiles
Saturday night. Marchiol did decent work, but the offense as a unit was
not up for the challenge brought by the 19th-ranked Hawkeyes. The
offense had company: NU's defense and special teams also had a rough
night, as Northwestern spotted Iowa 14 quick points and never
threatened during the game. Even with the multitude of injuries the
team has suffered, it was still a disappointing showing, and it marked
the team's first loss at New Ryan Field.

CHILES OUT FOR THE IOWA GAME
ESPN's
Pete Thamel delivered the devastating news midday Friday that
quarterback Aidan Chiles is out with "an upper body injury, and his
timeline for return is uncertain."
NU was already dealing with a raft of injuries across
both offense and defense. Losing the team's star player at this point
makes NU a long shot to win Saturday.

Northwestern's
2026 season marks the 150th anniversary of NU's first football game. Now, you can read about NU's very first season and how it
all began.
Gus Hornsby's Gamble
tells the story of Augustus Hornsby, the maverick English army officer
who formed the Chicago Foot-Ball Club and taught the game to
Northwestern students. Hornsby's story, relayed here for the first time
anywhere, is a wild ride: he was a pioneer journalist, an explorer, and
eventually a fabulously wealthy real estate tycoon. But his gambling
addiction led to financial ruin and a stunning string of crimes that
made Hornsby a nationally-hunted fugitive.
My book
provides a new glimpse into life at Northwestern at the school's
infancy and describes its first football team in detail. It is a must
for any fan of Northwestern and NU history. Click here to learn more about the book. You can order it directly from Amazon.
"...It will always be my school, our school."
--Gary Barnett, as quoted by Teddy Greenstein
