Can the Hawkeyes still take Big Ten crown?

First loss of the season, dropping out of the top 10, losing starting quarterback Ricky Stanzi to injury -- it couldn't get much worse for the Iowa Hawkeyes than last Saturday's 17-10 home loss to Northwestern.

And now comes one of the season's toughest challenges, a trip to Columbus to face Ohio State. Iowa's Big Ten title hopes ride on the arm of redshirt freshman quarterback James Vandenberg, making his first collegiate start against a team that manhandled Penn State on the road last weekend.

Yet the Hawkeyes can still determine their own fate, and wins in their final two games would mean a Big Ten championship and a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl.

So how will fate treat Iowa? You make the call.
