I like it.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Tough to win in Charlottesville.

I like it.

Those match ups look good to me as well.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Vore-jin-ya?

Nah, try again. Maybe Clemson or Wake Forest. I feel like they owe us from previous meetings, but I'm not gonna look that up..........

8-6 ACC

Tough draw for the Hawks, imo.

That will be very difficult, but, we will get to play a very recent National Champion. Great exposure. Will be eyeballs watching in the DC area, aka LukaLand.

 

[HawkAssassin]

It’s weird that Iowa’s higher ranked than Virginia in the preseason Bart Torvik rankings.

Win or loss, it’s a great matchup because it’ll prepare Iowa’s young guys for the grinding style they’ll have to play in conference. The coaches will have a much better idea of who’ll produce in B1G play after this game.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I’m really hoping for an Iowa @ Miami matchup.

 

[BBHawk]

I like that Iowa gets a tough road matchup relatively early. They need to be focused for every game from the start of the season. No gimmes.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Great preparation for B1G play, especially for Wisconsin.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I’d guess 7-7 by first glance at the matchups.

 

[Knothole Hawk]

I'd agree with 7-7, it looks like alot of good matchups.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

That will be a great game. I’m really looking forward to this team, I think they are going to surprise some people.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Bump

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Illinois over ND

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Syracuse over Indiana

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

In a close one, I think Iowa steals a victory over Virginia!

 

[BBHawk]

Looks like a lot of close matchups. Should be very entertaining games!

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Maryland over VT

 

[Raptorpeeps]

In a close one, I think Iowa steals a victory over Virginia!

That would be a GREAT win to set the tone for the season.

[HoustonREDHawk]

ACC dominated the first decade or so, but B1G has more than held its own since.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

First thought was, I wonder who Minnesota’s opponents have been, lol.

You win the internet today. Shouldn't have been close with the blown lead but it's all good. I'll take the W.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

ANY ‘W’ is a good ‘W’, but ‘Ls’ are a different story.
