The initial 2019 coaches poll has been officially released, and the Iowa football team can be found at 19th, which personally, seems like the sweet spot for the Hawks after a 9-4 season in 2018.
The Iowa football team is returning a key starters at a few key positions on the offensive side of the ball, and there is possibly more talent on the defensive side of the ball than we have ever had in Iowa City (I realize there have been some great defenses, and this comment is saying they have great potential, not that they are actually better).
