  "account": "Northwestern's athletic standout Aidan Chiles was absent from the game due to an upper-body injury. Backup quarterback Nicco Marchiol took his place. The game saw Northwestern struggle to move the ball and score, resulting in a 24-10 loss to Iowa. While Iowa's offense was dominant, the Wildcats' defense had trouble stopping both the run and explosive plays. Special teams also made a costly mistake by allowing a touchdown. Marchiol had a decent passing game, throwing for 181 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 52 yards. TE Luke Dehnicke and WR Griffin Wilde both had five catches for 52 yards each. Iowa scored early in the second half, capitalizing on a defensive pass interference call and a missed tackle. Northwestern had brief moments of offense, but ultimately struggled to keep up with Iowa's dominant performance.",
