Team must play every scheduled regular season game for action
  Sep 01 56925 IOWA RSW   o8½-145  
  6:55 PM 56926 IOWA RSW   u8½+105

 

 

and at same time odds at same book to win Big Ten West

 

 

Sep 03 - 12:00 PM 55930 TEAM TO WIN BIG TEN WEST DIVISION IOWA -105

 

 

I would think it takes 9+ wins to win West

 

Iowa schedule, 3 hardest games at Home would think they win 1 of those

 

have an off week prior to playing on road vs PSU

 

Wisc the week prior to coming to Iowa plays OSU so they could be banged up.

Eastern KTY

 

Ill take them on point spread BLIND in first 2 games. likely 3rd  also but assume odds makers will catch up to what Mauk at QB means by that point in time  and Ball State will suck so bad spread could be to high.

Look to be on the UNDER in Bowling Greens first 2 games

 

On BG team under in game 3.

 

their lack of scoring in first 2 games will blamed on the level of competition  but believe the season will show the coaching changes loss of players have taken it's toll.

The ONLY given win on the Hawkeye schedule is their opener at home vs Miami, Ohio.......and that's with a strength of schedule that is very weak.

 

Now, having said that, until they lose, they will be favored in every game they play.

 

How does this years team compare to the 2014 & 2015 versions

Mo, comparing Iowa to last season.

 

 

 

The better......

 

100% healthy and more experienced QB in Beathard

 

A defense that should be nearly as good or better than last years, which was very good all-around......... .....Johnson on the DL, Jewell at MLB, and King in the secondary are all bonafide superstars at this level and beyond.

 

 

 

 

 

........

 

The worse........

 

A completely inexperienced punting and kicking game, a strength of last years team, this is a major concern for this coming season.

 

Thin depth in the running game, Jordan Canzeri 2015 contributions will be sorely missed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, the teams overall talent AND schedule are very similar to last year, which makes them a LEGIT top 15-20 team if they remain relatively healthy, but not enough overall depth and a questionable special teams unit keeps the team from being a LEGIT top ten team.........so all in all, and overall, a team that is relatively on par with the team of last year.

 

 

 

Beathard will have to stay healthy and perform even better than he did last season for this team to win at least 12 games overall and finish in the top ten AP poll at seasons end, as last years team did..........Coach Ferentz said a few days ago, the top superstars on this team will have play even better than last year, if not, it's going to be a frustrating season in Iowa City.

Mo....

 

It will probably be Tenn vs Iowa in the Outback Bowl at seasons end. :)

Got to be in the playoffs to see the Vols. Iowa could make it, UT could, that would be a great time for the Tgf bash. Last time we played Tennessee could have won by 70.

 

You guys have anyone outside? How are the lines? King is nasty, he wouldn't have come back if he didn't think the rest of the group was capable of winning the big ten.

 

It's almost here my friend! It will go too quickly
