New digital cover for @SInow: Spent time in Baton Rouge with Elijah Haven, his family and his team to find out more about how one of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2027 got to where he is today.
The secret? Dreaming big—and playing even bigger: si.com/college-football/elij…

Column: The South end zone at Notre Dame Stadium is where Miami dreams go to die, at the meddling hands of Irish defensive backs. On a classic game that felt a whole lot like 1988:

Plenty to say about Northwestern’s loss in the next couple of days. Disappointing that the team didn’t play its best in the key moments.
But far more discouraging to see coaching that didn’t give the offense a chance on early 4th downs and hasn’t improved kickoff coverage

Off the top of my head I can think of the kick return TD that just happened, the 50-yard return by Oregon, MSU had two 40+ yard returns, a big return by Ball State, we can't go into a press conference after this and talk about straining and leverage I'm going to lose my mind
More on the key backups down the stretch of this season, many of whom will be in action on this loaded Saturday. A duel in Columbus, a tough test for UCLA and Boise fights to stay atop the G6 race: si.com/college-football/rank…
More Northwestern-Iowa preview for those who haven’t had enough! Plus additional thoughts on Nicco Marchiol at the top
The Iowa Hawkeyes take on Northwestern Saturday.
There's some mystery surrounding the Wildcats, as starting quarterback Aidan Chiles is expected to miss the game with an injury. To preview the matchup, TV9's @JackLido sat down with @ZachKoons.

New for @SInow: Best. College. Football. Saturday. Ever? I dug into 5 other of the most anticipated slates of the 21st century and how Week 10 of 2026 stacks up. One thing’s for sure: do not leave your couch at all costs. si.com/college-football/best…

... Also from Zach: the most important backup QBs for November, amid an injury plague at that position. (I would have put Luke Fahey No. 1, but lists are made for arguments.) si.com/college-football/rank…

Thoughts on Aidan Chiles being ruled out vs. Iowa, brief Nicco Marchiol scouting, where the QB change hurts Northwestern the most and what my final pick is after the news. Hint: it’s the same as it was earlier this week 👀 More on why that is below!
Listen to the full preview, recorded earlier this week with @TylerKluver of @WashedUpWalkons and just replace every mention of Chiles with Marchiol and you should get the gist: youtu.be/_gUD5QSXD8Y?si=LqoA…
Brutal blow for the ‘Cats. Injury bug hasn’t been super kind to the team all year but in a season where every other Big Ten QB seemed to go down, Chiles had seemingly been left unscathed.
Probably not a worse defense on the schedule for Nicco Marchiol to have to come in against

Sources: Northwestern starting QB Aidan Chiles is expected to miss the game against No. 19 Iowa on Saturday. Chiles has been dealing with an upper body injury and his timeline for return is uncertain. Chiles has accounted for 23 TDs in leading the Wildcats to a 6-2 start.

QB Aidan Chiles is still listed questionable on tonight's injury report.
Stevens upgraded to probable
The Aidan Chiles injury is obviously cause for concern, but there’s a different Northwestern unit that needs to step up on Saturday against Iowa: the defensive line.
The performance against Oregon wasn’t good enough—and a similar result will spell trouble against the Hawkeyes.
