I'm usually a pessimistic person, but after reading tons of articles, watching the spring game on btn2go, and listening to every Iowa podcast I can find......I can't come to the conclusion that things are as bad as some make it seem. I think the defense overall will be better and the offense will improve at the QB, RB, and TE (slightly) positions from last year. My main concerns are Oline and WR, but even then we have some decent experience back at both of those positions and at the WR position we have a couple true freshmen who can probably help right away. Personally I think Iowa will win at least 7 games this year and with an easy schedule could win even more. I do have my doubts, but I can't help but think this team is heading in the right direction. Call me crazy if you want
