Good find - If it was a stock report - I'd say "flat" with the opportunity to ascend or fall. This season will provide the data

Thanks for posting. Great piece there. I think Iowa is UP this season. I'll be disappointed at less than 8 wins.

I think this team will be better than last years team, especially with the addition of Butler. I think that is at least worth one win. But, Iowa will have a much tougher schedule this year. Secondary to this, it is hard to measure or state if they are up or down. They may have a worse record but be ascending secondary to their play, personnel and depth. It all depends on what metric are using to measure.

If Stanley can move the offense then I say Up also. Expect eight in the box against our offense in an attempt to stop our running game. It Brian has a good and affective plan to attack that kind of defense then I say nine plus wins. I like passing to the TE's down the middle about 12 to 15 yards beyond the LOS. A few of those will loosen those LB's up with an occasional deep ball thrown in for good measure.
