Ohio State and Iowa are set to face off for the first time since 2017, but the Hawkeye team that comes to Columbus should still look familiar to Buckeye fans.
A strong and well-coached defense, paired with an offense that figures to feature the tight end? Yup. Sounds like a Kirk Ferentz team.
Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register joins host Tom Orr to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this year's Iowa team.
- With two experienced starters back, who will win the starting QB job?
- Will a young offensive line stand up to the rigors of a Big Ten schedule?
- Could this be the best defense of the Ferentz era?
- Plus, with one 5-star recruit already signed in 2022, and another in 2023, what is Iowa doing to bring in that level of talent without a big NIL collective?
