We break out our pre Minnesota episode with some fun talk of Kevin's training, memories from the Minnesota matchup specifically 2015 and the loudest I-O-W-A chant there's ever been, where Minnesota has stacked up nationally through 3 weeks and why Iowa could be a much different test. We talk GBone's top 25, if certain coverages would better suit Iowa's secondary to protect against some of the big plays that they have allowed, and some beefy five layer action.

We sit down to break down the game from Saturday as the Hawks come back from a halftime deficit to beat Troy 38-21. A game that many walked away from with a weird inconclusive feeling. We discuss why this win doesn't 'feel good' even though the stat sheets say differently. We talk about the blunders on the Defensive side of the ball, where we've seen big plays hurt the Hawks in back to back weeks, and a huge mishap on special teams which is usually the area that Iowa dominates in. We break down the Offense and how Kaleb Johnson is currently a Heisman contender, and how Cade actually played well despite a general feeling of lackluster-ness from his position. We talk passing game and how it needs to evolve moving forward, seeing Brendan Sullivan for the first time, and where things need to be heading in to Floyd week.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

In the Tuesday presser KF answered questions from the media about the loss from the weekend, he talked about dealing with setbacks and how to move forward from those, and the danger of dwelling on the past. The theme of the press conference was likening this past weekend to 2002 so we discuss how time, decades, provides a pretty good perspective on how great that season was and how much potential this season still has. We discuss how the RB room may only be a 3 man stable right now with JP outside looking in, and of course how scoring in the redzone was such a vital issue in week 1 and will be a focus moving forward. We also talk best timing to try out Brendan Sullivan and why KF may be more open to a QB switch right now than people think.. all of this and more!If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Not the recap we wanted to do, but the recap that may be necessary- We break down the entirety of the Iowa loss to Iowa State over the weekend.
