Iowa Football

Iowa State was among the teams to reenter John Steppe’s AP ballot after snapping its two-game losing skid.

Iowa’s defense led the country in yards allowed per play in 2022 and 2023. The 2024 season has been a reminder of how difficult it is to sustain such an elite level of play.

At 6-4, this has become a forgettable season for an Iowa football team that entered the fall with expectations to contend for a College Football Playoff Spot. We talk through where it went wrong on this episode of the Hawk Off The Press podcast.

Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan has run with fearless abandon. Given Iowa’s precarious depth at the position, how much will that change once he’s healthy again?

Iowa offensive coordinator Tim Lester sees value in looking at “every position, every year” in the transfer portal in the current era of college football.

If Brendan Sullivan and Cade McNamara are both healthy next week, offensive coordinator Tim Lester said he would “let them compete” ahead of the Nov. 23 game against Maryland.

With two games left in the regular season, Iowa’s best-case scenario in 2024 would be to go to the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Iowa football’s Nov. 23 game at Maryland will kick off at 11 a.m. Central time, the Big Ten announced on Monday. Big Ten Network will broadcast the game.

Iowa’s offense has obviously benefited from Brendan Sullivan’s fearless running over the last few weeks. But Sullivan’s running style comes with some drawbacks, too, as evident during the Hawkeyes’ loss to UCLA.

Iowa State fell off John Steppe’s Week 12 AP ballot after its loss to Kansas, which was 2-6 overall and 1-4 in Big 12 play before beating the Cyclones this weekend.

So good at home lately, Iowa’s defense again was merely mortal as a visitor, getting gashed and gouged by UCLA on its way to a humbling 20-17 defeat.

Iowa’s loss to UCLA ensured that Kirk Ferentz will have to wait until 2025 to break Woody Hayes’ record for overall wins as a Big Ten member.
