Legends & Listeners: Jack Campbell, Iowa's CFP Hopes & Northwestern Preview

Iowa football and the College Football Playoff are front and center on this week's Legends & Listeners. Chad Leistikow and Scott Dochterman open with an emotional discussion of former Hawkeye linebacker Jack Campbell and the encouraging update he shared following his frightening injury with the Detroit Lions.

The guys reflect on Campbell's leadership, character, and legacy at Iowa before turning to the first College Football Playoff rankings. What would it take for Iowa to climb into the 12-team field? How important is a strong November, and can the Hawkeyes make a statement against Northwestern?

They also break down Iowa's 30-0 win over Wisconsin, the offensive execution that made the victory possible, and what the Hawkeyes need to do against a dangerous Northwestern team. The Wildcats bring a challenging offense led by quarterback Aidan Chiles, and Iowa's defense will need to be disciplined against the run and the option elements of the attack.

Plus, a look around the Big Ten, the latest on Nebraska, the weekend's biggest matchups, and predictions from Chad and Scott.
