When we started talking about Iowa football this offseason, there was a steady drum beat from fans and media alike. It wasn’t a certainty, but I think most of us were expecting to see a productive offense and a suspect defense. After all, the defense was replacing all three linebackers and a pair of All-Americans in Josey Jewell and Josh Jackson. The offense, despite losing a dynamic playmaker like Akrum Wadley, had weapons at tight end with Noah Fant and TJ Hockenson. They also had a returning QB who damn near set the single season passing TD record in his first year as the signal caller and book end offensive tackles who will be playing on Sundays when they graduate.
