Rob: They will beat Ohio State at home and go to Ann Arbor where they kicked butt last time and revenge game for Iowa
Tate and Young are one of the top 1qb/rb combos in the country ... Tate ranked 4th best qb and Young 7th best rb in Nation by Sporting News .. the offv and defv lines will both be a strength and deep at TE with Chandler a senior and Moleki was the top rated TE in the country coming out of high school 2 yrs ago ... the wideout corp has a lot of speed and talent but will not totally a strength right now with a lot of youngsters that need to step up and one of the best in Texas enrolled in Jan and was the stars of spring ball
Defv line will be the strength on defv and lot of talent @ lb that but 2 huge losses with Hodge and Greenway .... safties are fine and corners need to step up and the kicking game is solid
Ferentz has done a fabulous job with this program ... top 10 recruiting class 2 yrs ago with some quality depth added this past class with the top lb in PA on board who was wanted by major programs like Tennessee and Iowa has committments allready from the top wideout in the Midwest, the top offv lineman in Illinois, front runner for the top rb in Illinois and Jake Christensen is a sophmore who was the top qb in the Midwest coming out of high school in Illinois
The schedule this year is perfectly setup for the Hawks to have a magical year ... KF now has quality deep talent and no Ohio State or Michigan on their schedule in 07 and 08 ... one of the top coaches in college ball today and one of the toughest stadiums to win in has Iowa poised to move into the top echelon
Ferentz is a wanted man every time there appears to be an NFL opening and is building up a legacy in Iowa City
