Whisky new quarterback looked really good. Missed one pass all game. That’s hard to do just playing catch. Let alone in a game

Every game outside of Wisconsin in the Big Ten West is basically a bye game

The West had better hope Minny doesn't get destroyed tonight by Michigan.

Iowa has a bye game today basically. Purdue's coach can't coach today, and their best player by far is out too. It's crazy how lucky Iowa gets.

Don't forget Purdue just lost their starting RB too this morning

Of course, they get Michigan St. too, who is currently being trucked by RUTGERS.

I didn't hear that. Geez.

They would have lost their bowl game last year too had USC's starting QB not gotten hurt.

That seems like a bit of a bold statement considering Iowa was winning by two scores when USC's QB got hurt.

Have no fear. The hawks will go 7-1 this year . . . or so someone at HR is predicting.

I love how some of their fans have such confidence. They're always winning out. BTW, the West is a sh*t show. Wisconsin looked good, but if Mertz is actually out with covid, don't conference rules mandate 3 weeks? They might pick up a few losses.

I think Iowa’s defense looked like trash. Goodson is a fantastic running back. Petras definitely looks like a first year QB. What did iowa fans expect? There were tons of unknowns coming into the year for the Hawks.

Having said that, I predict Iowa finishes 5-3.

There are no bye or gimme games for Iowa. Their QB doesn't look very good. At least right now.
