sure, but they do have good defensive players. 5 of the 6 players for Iowa that won the award are either still playing in the NFL or just retired (Hyde)

Its not their typical pillow soft B10 west schedule, lets put it that way. This season they missed 3 out of the 4 teams that finished at the top of the conference. Next year they get all of them except Ohio State.
no and probably no. It could click for him next year but it's not a likely scenario.
Other than mighty Albany and UMass, I don't think I see any other games where Iowa will be the projected favorite at the beginning of the season.
Gonna go out on a limb and say Iowa doesn't qualify for a bowl next year. I would also predict Kirk gets paid to "retire" at the end of a very long season, but I'm skeptical Iowa will have the cash to make that happen.
Honestly, I don’t think he can stay healthy or effective for 5.
IMO you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Iowa will no doubt beat up on lower level B10 teams by sitting around waiting for them to screw up and then kick a fg to win.
This is going to be an interesting part of the new era of college football. Instead of going to your whale donors to buyout a coach or raise money for a building/bridge once a decade now you are asking for NIL constantly.
This is exactly the scenario where Kirk traditionally pulls a contract extension out of the hat. I’m calling 8-4 with a bowl win over a mid-pack SEC team.
Here is my prediction for their season. I'm not sold on Wiscy, USC, MSU or Minn being very good. I am also of the opinion that Indiana has to "prove" that this year wasn't a fluky year (sort of like TCU a couple of years ago). The fact that Iowa gets their toughest conf games at home also helps them.
We should not worry about anything Iowa does.
I really think they lose to USC, they don't do well in California, Not sure about Wisconsin, but hope the Badgers can win.
Also, every 4th year - change out OC and then not understand why you get the same result.
Is Riley still the coach? Will he upgrade the defense? If the answer is "yes" to the first and "no" to the second, I think Iowa has a very good chance to win - hence my prediction. However, you may very well be correct (which I hope happens, btw).
I don't think Sullivan would have gotten it going straight forward. That defensive guy timed the jump over the line perfectly. He would have run right into him and been knocked backward.
Your secondary was pretty bad this year. Maybe just a down year or maybe he’s entering the Hayden era of his career with Kirk.
The correct answer would have been for your starting RB next year to catch the flare out pass for a 1st Down on the 3rd Down Play. Can't imagine why the QB and receivers don't have a good connection and confidence in this offense.
