The Hawkeyes are officially bowl eligible for 18th time in the last 19 seasons after beating Northwestern 20-0.

Iowa managed to produce back-to-back wins after suffering back-to-back losses in the two previous weeks. Now, Iowa has a chance to rest up during the bye week, get healthy and scheme up ways to beat a determined Wisconsin team that is coming off back-to-back losses.

"When you win a game, celebrate, enjoy it, feel good about it and then we'll critique it tomorrow and worry about it then," Ferentz said after Iowa beat Purdue two weeks ago. "But the whole idea is just keep pushing forward and have a good week and put it to bed the next day and keep going."

Iowa's offense continues to show some signs of struggle without star wide receiver Brandon Smith. The Hawkeyes only produced 302 yards of offense on Saturday, but did show some explosion when redshirt freshman Tyrone Tracy Jr caught a pass on third-down from quarterback Nate Stanley, broke a tackle and scampered 50 yards for a touchdown.
