Hawks at preseason # 11
- Thread starter pistachio1999
- Start date
3rd highest in B10 behind OSU and UM.
"The Hawkeyes will go as far as the QB play takes them."
Can't say I disagree.

"...behind a strong offensive line.."
If that statement is accurate, the #11 seems doable. If it's like early last years version, we will have issues.

Reminds me of 1980s predictions. Edit: Iowa's success with a difficult schedule in 2022 is largely going to depend on the offensive line.

so are they projecting a top 15 D + #70 O or #1 D + #105 O?
#70 O? That would border on a miraculous improvement from 2021.
Nebraska +250 is crazy
Brohm and Frost have combined to win more B10 games than Kirk zero times.

Not crazy at all when you look at that weak ass schedule.
F-ing Nebraska. Will it ever end with the preseason bullshit for them.
The Fighting Fitzes will probably beat them in game 1 in Ireland.
any doubt Scotty sits and does an evil laugh clenching his fists daily looking at that Oklahoma game in Lincoln?
I’d say Minnesota and Illinois are underrated on this list. Nebraska way overrated.
I think maybe just maybe Nebraska hits 6 - 6 on the year. Followed by a bump in the births 9 months later.
SP+ loves Nebraska, and that metric definitely sways the Vegas lines and odds.
Utah +500 in the PAC12 and Wake +2000 in the ACC are crazy good value.

Free range livestock don't count.
That was an interesting line in this. Not sure I am sold yet but I am sure hoping there is improvement.
I'd take a flyer on the Hawks at 5-1.
Only one of those has anything to do with winning the west. I'm thinking they are overrated, but nonetheless their schedule is easy.
Good spot for us to start the year. Should be able to get some early momentum but will need to turn it up mid season and on.
Laugh emojis received. Big success!
You may joke about Nebby's schedule, but they're not winning a game after Halloween. 0-4 November.
It really feels like Iowa has been reloading vs rebuilding for the last 3 or 4 years. Strange times...
Any list that has Nebby in front of Iowa is a joke.
Iowa talking about "easy schedule" is very rich. LMAO always weak ass schedule with lonely ISU and some MAC school. Finally have to play Ohio St
How does that help Nebby?
Iowa has earned their respect. Nebby has not done it on the field under Frost. Not done it under any HC for some time, as a matter of fact.
can we beat #2 ranking from last year? don’t have to be number 1, even holding on to #2 for longer is sufficient
Never stated it helped us..stating that Iowa has had easy scheduling for a long ass time. Iowa won't finish in the top 2 in the West this year so don't matter.
cfb’s biggest dilemma of 2022 arises as follows: iowa keeps climbing and beats both osu and um in regular season, reaches #1 ranking but drops the ccg. should both iowa and b1g champion go to playoffs (like al and ga last year)? after much deliberation committee decides that only indiana goes to playoffs, iowa to ny6.
Ha! You wasted your time coming here on our Iowa site to disrespect us?
You need to take care of your sorry-assed 1-8 team in Lincoln before you come here telling Iowa how bad we are. LOL! Nebby is the JOKE of the B1G!
How can I take such a half assed prediction seriously when this ill-informed journalist would get a low grade in a high school English class?
Maybe by the time people check the link some editor will have looked at it, but I doubt it. I had to read a few sentences five times before I understood what the hell this guy was trying to say.
“Let me know if you've heard this before. The Hawkeyes will go as far as its quarterback play will take them. That's because no program may before more frustratingly consistent than Iowa. The defense again looks like one of the best in the Big Ten. Defensive back Riley Moss and linebacker Jack Campbell will be two of the leaders. The offense, however, has to get out of the bottom half of the conference to go beyond just being very good team and that starts with Spencer Petras. A starter for the past two seasons, Petras hasn't been able to generate enough consistent big plays in the passing game to get the Hawkeyes past their difficult opponents. He'll have the benefit of tight end Sean LaPorta and a strong offensive line. Now he has to deliver.

I literally counted nine major errors in one short paragraph. Maybe we should have a contest to see if everyone can find them.
I can certainly think of one team that has consistenly hurt Iowa's strength of schedule.
Your non conf. argument is rich. Look at who Nebraska has lost to lately. Colorado team 2x that finished below .500, Troy or NIU all within the last 5 years. Even before that when you played Oregon they had the exact same record as ISU for those 2 seasons. So before OU last year not like Nebraska has been playing teams finishing in the top 25. But that's right you criticize Iowa for playing MAC schools but outside your one P5 game you schedule the power houses of Georgia Southern and North Dakota this year after playing Buffalo and Fordham last year.... Iowa had the cross over game vs PSU compared to Nebby having OSU. During that span you guys went 0-6 looks like Iowa had 1 more win then you guys managed to have. Iowa doesn't make the Big 10 schedule. Your argument is such a lame thing I'd expect from an ISU fan.
BTW when is the last time Nebraska beat a team in the top 25? I'll hang up and listen...

A 105 Offense would be an 18 spot improvement. I guess we could call that an improvement.
Yes, not sure where the USAToday people found out or saw that the hawks have a strong offensive line? I mean they were not strong overall last year or at least until most of the last 5 to 6 games.
I lose an all american and are unproven so that statement is just the pollsters own hype or impression. I hope they are very strong.
How many good recruiting classes does it take for Frost to get to 500.? Their fans have been forecasting great seasons ever since it was announced he was going there. Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional acorn. If you cheat and can’t win it’s really bad. Sooner or later they have to win some games one would think. I predict Scott will find more ways to lose.
