Episode 654: Iowa 24-Northwestern 10

West Lot Pirates — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 03:00:23 GMT

This game couldn't have been more a NU-Iowa game if it tried. It was a smash mouth, hard-hitting defensive struggle and the Cats were without Aiden Chiles. Now, we need to shake this one off as we head to a house of horrors in Columbus where the Cats haven't won since 1971. But with the Buckeyes reeling after a massive loss to Oregon, pretty much dropping them out of playoff contention, why can't we go shock the world?

Iowa Recap and the Need for a Special Teams Change With Wildcat Report’s Matt Shelton

Bleav Podcast Network — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:15:00 GMT

Zach is back from his trip to Ryan Field and shares some brief thoughts on experiencing the new stadium for the first time in the audience. Then, he’s joined by Wildcat Report managing editor Matt Shelton to dive deeper into Northwestern’s underwhelming performance in a 24–10 loss to Iowa. They start with the defense, lamenting the passive approach and lack of pressure applied on Hawkeyes quarterback Hank Brown. They then turn to special teams, with Matt breaking down how many instances of poor play the unit has had in two years under Paul Creighton and why it’s likely time for a major change. Finally, they spend some time on the offense and how Nicco Marchiol fared in his first start with Northwestern, while pointing out why the offensive line is a much bigger problem than previously expected.

Northwestern returns to Ryan Field with a chance to move to 6–0 at home against an ever consistent Iowa team, in what’s turned into a College Football Playoff elimination game. Zach is joined by former Iowa long-snapper and host of the Washed Up Walkons podcast Tyler Kluver to break down the matchup, starting with the reasons for the Hawkeyes’ up-and-down season.

They then pivot to the defense and talk about how Kirk Ferentz keeps replicating a fundamentally sound unit, and why it could give Northwestern trouble on Saturday. Finally, the pair goes over their keys to the game and makes final score predictions.

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Ohio State's game at USC is HUGE for so many reasons. First we will see if USC football coach Lincoln Riley can keep his job if he loses this game - or any others the rest of the way. Remember, this season is college football playoff or bust for Lincoln Riley and the Trojans!

Elsewhere around the Big Ten we have bad injury news for the Iowa Hawkeyes as they prepare to take on red-hot Wisconsin as the Badgers are fresh-off a big win over USC. We dive into the Northwestern game at Oregon and how former Ducks head coach Chip Kelly is the offensive coordinator of the Wildcats. Plus we look for some intel on who the starting quarterback is going to be for Washington as they head into Lincoln to face Nebraska in their Blackout Game on Halloween night! Then we teach you how to get free tuition at the next Maryland Terps football game.

Then finally, we close things out with our weekly Big Ten Classics on Locked on Big Ten!

Oregon Preview With Bleav in Oregon

Bleav Podcast Network — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:30:00 GMT

The Wildcats face their biggest opportunity of the David Braun era on Saturday at Oregon—a borderline must-win if the team aspires for more than just a bowl game this season. Ducks beat reporter and Bleav in Oregon host Zachary Neel joins Zach on the show to break down what’s gone wrong in Eugene in 2026, starting with the offense. They discuss the change at offensive coordinator, Dylan Raiola’s lackluster play and other issues that have plagued Oregon all season long. Next, they pivot to the defense, focusing in particular on the defensive line and how that unit might make life difficult for Aidan Chiles and the Northwestern run game. Finally, they give out their keys to the game for each side and make their picks.
