In this episode, Tyler and Collin debate bold predictions for the upcoming season, such as "Will Iowa have a wide receiver eclipse 500 yards?" or "Can the Hawkeyes pull off a top-10 upset?" We will evaluate these predictions with either a “Shot” (it will happen) or a “No Shot” (it will not happen) and discuss each one briefly. Let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree with any of them!(Time stamps might be slightly off due to advertisements)

Collin will discuss all things wideouts in this episode and share his opinion on the state of the room and whether they can take that next step this upcoming year or not.
