EVANSTON, Ill. — The 20th-ranked Northwestern Wildcats will look to bounce back from its first loss of the season in its annual Homecoming game when it hosts No. 17 Iowa Saturday at 11:05 a.m.

As a part of the Homecoming festitivies, the Wildcats will wear a "Flashback" jersey to honor the 1995 Rose Bowl Team. Approximately 75 members of the '95 team, including Homecoming Grand Marshal Darnell Autry, are expected to be in attendance Saturday and will be recognized during the game. Relive that 1995 season via an interactive timeline and first-person memories from the #B1GCats who lived it at our Expect Victory: 20 Years Later page!

Customized premier and replica jerseys as well as several other 20th Anniversary items are available through our friends at Let's Tailgate.

The Wildcats and Hawkeyes game will be broadcast on ABC/ESPN2 with Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Brian Griese (analyst) and Tim Luginbill (sideline). Fans can also stream the game on their mobile and wirelss devices through WatchESPN. As always, the game will also be broadcast on WGN 720 with the voice of the Wildcats Dave Eanet, his partner Ted Albrecht and sideline reporter Adam Hoge.

• Kirk Ferentz is the longest-tenured active coach in the Big Ten. He is in his 17th season at the helm at Iowa and his 121 wins ranks ninth all-time in Big Ten history. He is one victory shy of tying Lloyd Carr for eighth.

• Iowa is off to a 6-0 start for the seventh time in program history and is aiming to start the season 7-0 for the fifth time. Iowa's best start to a season was 9-0 in 2009 before a loss in Iowa City to Northwestern.
