[NU Sports] Defining game

[Jim Bendat]

Well, I'd now have to say that next week's game against Iowa will be the 
defining game of the season.  How will we react to a disappointing loss, 
coupled with playing an excellent Iowa team coming into town with a 
week's rest?  If we win it, we're bowl eligible.  But if we lose it, 
we're highly likely to go into the Illinois game with a three-game 
losing streak and a 5-5 record, needing to defeat the Illini to get any 
bowl big and to avoid a losing season.  -- Jim B.
