The author looks like a more credible source that the previous guy who covered Iowa for USA Today. Previous guy was a student who lived in Maryland and attended some very small college, seemed most interested in journalism on a small scale.

I want what ever that guy is drinking. I don't think it is going to be a very good year.

This is obviously respect for the defense and hope that the offense is at least average.

Cade McNamara alone...won't solve the problems on offense. This guy will get the clicks he's looking for from Iowa fans.

I will never believe any hype for Iowa that goes beyond Big Ten West contenders. There is a 0% chance we’re ever getting past OSU or Michigan in the championship game.
