To
some degree Iowa was a Top 10
product of scheduling in 2015.
That formula will be somewhat
more difficult but not to a
large degree. The pieces of
the puzzle are still here for
Coach Ferentz to get his team
back into the Big Ten Championship
Game, especially on defense.
This could wind up being the
best defensive team in the conference.
C.J. Beathard brings the leadership
again behind center and the
running back options are multiple.
This is a typical Midwestern
style success story where defense,
running the ball and being efficient
keeps the Hawkeyes winning.
