From the opportunity to end the seniors’ careers with a win to the hot chicken contest, Iowa football players have found value in the Music City Bowl.

Nico Ragaini said he wants to return to Iowa for a sixth season in 2023. His decision to stay gives the Hawkeyes a veteran presence in what would otherwise have been a young wide receiver room.

Iowa football practiced Tuesday ahead of its Music City Bowl matchup against Kentucky.

After opt-outs and transfers, the Wildcats have a different look from what Iowa saw in the Citrus Bowl.

Iowa football emerged as a national contender during an “extra special” 2002 season that put the Hawkeyes in the top tier of college football.

The combination of Luke Lachey and Erick All Jr. at tight end in 2023 could result in another year of tight ends playing an especially prominent role in the offense.

A group of college football fans called the Sickos Committee is raising thousands of dollars for CommUnity Crisis Services in Iowa City after Iowa football’s “unconventionally appealing” season.

Sam LaPorta suffered a torn meniscus in one of his knees during the Minnesota game, but is optimistic about his status for the Music City Bowl. Joe Labas is preparing for his first career start.

Recruiting in the transfer portal comes with an accelerated timeline, but the Hawkeyes still “dig as much as possible” to vet transfer targets.

As the Hawkeyes sign 20 high school recruits, seven preferred walk-ons, two transfer portal players and one junior college transfer, they still have some recruiting fluidity ahead of 2023.

Kirk Ferentz discussed what appealed to him about former Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara and what he knows about McNamara’s health status.

One day after flipping his commitment from Iowa to Alabama, five-star offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor believes the “better opportunity” for him is at Alabama.

Iowa’s 2023 recruiting class took a hit when Kadyn Proctor flipped to Alabama, but it’s still on par with classes from recent years.

Kadyn Proctor would have been the highest-rated recruit to go to Iowa, based on 247Sports’ ratings.

Joe Labas is expected to get his first opportunity at quarterback in the Music City Bowl.
