NFL Gameday (Alex)


There are some great games to watch tomorrow the first will be the Patriots vs the Dolphins (great upset chances), Ravens vs Bengals, Cardinals vs Bears, Titans vs 49ers, Chargers vs Giants, Cowboys vs Eagles, and Steelers Broncos.

Iowa Finally Falls (Alex)

Dan Persa threw a touchdown pass and Marshall Thomas recovered a fumble for another touchdown, and Northwestern snapped No. 8 Iowa's 13-game winning streak with a 17-10 victory on Saturday.
It was the first win over a top-10 opponent for the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten) since knocking off then-No. 6 Ohio State 33-27 in overtime in 2004.
Iowa lost quarterback Ricky Stanzi to an apparent ankle injury early in the second quarter. Freshman James Vandenberg was just 9 of 27 for 82 yards filling, and couldn't lead the Hawkeyes (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) to any points after Stanzi left the game.
Northwestern scored twice off turnovers in the second quarter. Thomas recovered a fumble in the end zone after the hit that knocked Stanzi out of the game, and Drake Dunsmore caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Persa after another turnover.
Brandon Wegher had 63 yards rushing for Iowa, whose national title hopes are all but over. The Hawkeyes can still win at least a share of the Big Ten title with victories over Ohio State and Minnesota in their final two games.

Week 8

Well week 8 is not over but from so far it has been an interesting week. Favre gets a win in Lambeau field for the first time in his career on a opposing team. The Broncos stop their undefeated stretch and the Titans and Rams finally get a win. The Ravens seem to be getting back on track and the Texans continue to win. Meanwhile the Cardinals look like they did the first game of the season and the Giants can't get it going as the Eagles continue to improve after the loss to Oakland. Now there are only 2 undefeated teams left (Saints and Colts) and only 1 win less team left (Buccaneers). Ted Ginn returned two kickoffs for scores which led Miami to another win against the Jets. The Eagles torch the Giants and Vince Young puts a little spirit in the Titans and they finally win. Owen Daniels gets injured and may be out for the season. The Cowboys are now tied for first place in the NFC east. SO all in all it has been quite the exciting week.
