By the numbers Iowa FB had a strong finish to last season.
If not for injury(Cooper DeJean, Petras) and untimely fumble(Bruce) vs Neb the Hawks would have a 6 game winning streak including a bowl win coming into this season.
Only one of the 5 wins was even close(Minn 13-10). The rest were 2 td wins.
So coming into 2023 Hawks are flying.
The schedule looks manageable outside of a top 5 PSU on the road.
The bye is well placed after Minny and Wis.
If they get to the bye in good shape that final stretch (NW,RU,ILL and Neb) should allow another good November for Hawks.
Every game is a battle in the league with our conservative style but we usually prevail.
Wis is again the key game as so many seasons in the past.
I am getting excited for this season which does seem to be an inflection point with the big changes for 2024.
I think KF will have fire in belly to get to Indy as western champs one more time.
Go Hawks!!
