This guy thinks we lose in week one. :(
He does say we’ll hand Wisconsin their first loss in week nine, though.


Iowa Hawkeyes: Week 1 vs. Indiana​

So…you all saw how poorly Iowa played to open the 2020 season, right? I can’t pick the Hawkeyes in this type of matchup in the first game of the year, even if it is at Kinnick Stadium.

I really like Iowa’s linebacker corps and secondary but I also think Michael Penix Jr. and Ty Fryfogle could have big afternoons with this being a Week 1 game. And the Hoosiers will bring a really good defense into Iowa City as well, which could cause some issues for Spencer Petras.

Plus, there’s always the fact that Gary Barta is the chair of the College Football Playoff selection committee and Indiana felt like it was robbed of a spot in the New Year’s Six. Might be a little added motivation for the Hoosiers in the opener.
