Quick Look at 2025

[squeezebox]

Just a Quick Look at returning starters for each team, prior to the portal potty. There will inevitably be more attrition to the NFL (i.e. Penn State), but PSU should be a top 3 team next year. Oregon is going to need to hit the portal solidly once again. Not sure I'm sold on Dante Moore either, but Oregon is consistent at developing QBs. Indiana had better strike gold in the portal.

Offense Defense
Iowa: 5; 3

Iowa State: 6; 9

Indiana: 3; 4

MSU: 8; 5

Minnesota: 5; 5

Oregon: 6; 3

Penn State: 7; 7

Debby: 7; 4

Rutgers: 8; 4

USC: 7; 4

Wisky: 5; 4

Holy crap… we don’t return much

On paper, ISU is going to have a good team next year. They lose both of their good WRs, but that’s a position they always seem solid at even in the years they don’t have a good team.

The Hawks should concentrate on the O and D (tackle) lines in the portal.

If we aren't strong there nothing else matters.

caveat: I have no idea what our NIL $$$ looks like. I'm assuming it's limited.

4-8 with alot of luck. 2-10 possible. This team is going to be terrible. Road games will be disasters, Fry type final year blowout losses. Oregon could play Shaggy at qb and put up 40 on what will be an awful D (worse than this year).

GTFO, a lot of young talent on this team.

1994 is not an Iowa fan, he is a poor attempt at a troll

Omg! STOP THE MADNESS

Those defensive numbers are skewed , Lee, Hall , Lutmer, Eslinger , Nestor all played a ton with some starts and we rotated a ton of DL in , LBs are upperclassmen and have played too, Iowa will not be garbage on defense , might be pretty good . Offense needs a WR1 and QB to take a big step forward so business as usual on that side and the Kicking game all returns . Iowa will not be 2-10/4-8

Next season has potential to be one of the hardest home conference schedules I can ever remember.

last 23 years says you are wrong. Kirk missed 1 bowl game.

Iowa is one of FIVE P5 teams to win 8+ games per season for the last TEN years. Not the big, all of P5.

We'll be ok. Unless Kirk suddenly retires. Then all bets are off.

Debbie may be screwed, eight losing seasons in a row, maybe nine.
