One trap I want to avoid is to expect Iowa to win the Division again this year. Last year was a very special season....everything fell into place for Iowa. I do expect Iowa to be very, very competitive in every game this fall, with a realistic chance of a division title and a great bowl game.
Last year was a special season because we had special players. Most of those players are back this year. And when you think about it, other than our schedule and a couple plays, we had a lot of bad luck last year. If we can actually avoid injuries this year, we should be big favorites to win the west. That said, you should never expect to win because all it takes is one bad break.
