It’s here! It’s finally here! It is game week in Iowa City as your Iowa Hawkeyes prepare to kick off the 2024 season at home against the Illinois State Redbirds.
The Redbirds are set to come to Kinnick for just the second time and are fresh off a 6-5 2023 season. For their part, the Hawkeyes are coming off a 10-win 2023 that felt much worse than the record would indicate, culminating in a pair of postseason losses where Iowa was blown out by a combined score of 61-0.
The new year brings promise of new hope for offensive competence.
