Hank Brown, No. 21 Iowa defense combine to give Northwestern first loss at new stadium, 24-10

EVANSTON, Ill. -- , Hank Brown threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Braeden Jackson returned a kickoff for a TD for the second time this season as No. 21 Iowa beat Northwestern for the fifth straight time and dealt the Wildcats their first loss at the new Ryan Field, 24-10 on Saturday night. The Hawkeyes (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) have allowed only two touchdowns in the past three games. They recorded six sacks and didn't allow the Wildcats inside their 26-yard line until the fourth quarter. Brown was 16-of-21 passing for 126 yards with an interception after going 20 for 24 in last week's win over Wisconsin. Northwestern has dropped two straight after a 6-1 start. The Wildcats (6-3, 3-3), who won twice at their temporary lakefront stadium before winning the first three games at their new $875 million home, were trying to move to 6-0 at home for the first time in 122 years.
