ESPN - Big Ten Blog: Wootton puts Northwestern back in it
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Defensive end Corey Wootton entered the season as an All-America candidate, but he has been nearly invisible because of the effects of offseason knee surgery.
Wootton just showed up in a big way.
After Northwestern's offense couldn't capitalize on a Ricky Stanzi interception, Wootton nailed Stanzi in the end zone, forcing a fumble that Marshall Thomas recovered. It cut Iowa's lead to 10-7. Stanzi looked very woozy as he walked off the field.
