I’m surprised there wasn’t a thread started about this last week. Iowa opened at 6.5 and has been bet up to 7.5.
Hold your horses.Eh, I don't pay much attention to betting. But that sounds pretty close to what we should expect this season. A lot of question marks on both sides of the ball. How will the offense look with Gronowski at the helm? What will Lester do in his season season? Who's going to fill the gaps left behind on the OLine? Will our D's secondary issue be resolved? Will Iose start? Will we finally have the pass rusher we desperately need? So on and so forth. If Mark gives us a competent, dare I say even a dangerous passing attack, then I can definitely see above 7 wins.
Revisiting the schedule, I think winning the first 4 games would be really beneficial before we play Indiana then heading to Wisconsin. Simply having that momentum would be a big boon. We should be favored 3 out of the first 4. If we're undefeated with Penn State coming to town, I'd be willing to bet that will be a night game. Can you imagine Oregon coming to Kinnick to play an undefeated Iowa a few weeks later?
QB is the most important position in all of sports. It will all depend on the QB.We lost 45% of our offensive production and don’t remember % of points in KJ
I feel it’ll be a struggle to make up those points no matter the schedule
All 3 linebackers will be new and Sea Bass gone as well.Not optimistic.
Another damaged QB.
Questionable OLine.
Capt Fossil is still calling the shots.
Probably what you said before the last several seasons Iowa has won 8,9,10 gamesNot optimistic.

Oooh, that brings up another interesting question: will we break the losing streak against ranked opponents? I say yes.Lester and Gronowski are gonna be awesome. The Hawkeyes will beat one of the three CFP teams that come to Kinnick.
i predicted 10 this last year.Probably what you said before the last several seasons Iowa has won 8,9,10 games
Even though they were diminished, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed the butt kicking laid on Washington last fall.Lester and Gronowski are gonna be awesome. The Hawkeyes will beat one of the three CFP teams that come to Kinnick.
Notice I specified the Offense.Probably what you said before the last several seasons Iowa has won 8,9,10 games
no one thinks your captain fossil jokes are funny if you haven't noticedNot optimistic.

Actually your first and fourth lines were not specific to the offense.Notice I specified the Offense.
Phil & LeVar got us the significant win totals.
Some say we got the wins in spite of KFAnd it's KF's team. He got the Hawks those wins
Oh, I am aware of the amount of idiots out thereSome say we got the wins in spite of KF
SOS will be somewhere around 75. Should be able to eeek out five wins.That's sounds a lot higher than the 3 wins people have been trying to shove down our throats.
If Iowa can get an uptick on defense it will be a strong team.
I'm a basketball guy, but I honestly can't wait to hear those pads popping. Iowa football is truly special
