Fresh off a 23-19 win over Minnesota, there’s not much to complain about for Hawkeye football fans.

There’s not a whole lot worth nit-picking, either.

Stock Watch is back, and – spoiler – things are looking up for a Hawkeye program shooting for nine regular-season wins.

Stock up: Iowa’s first-quarter offense

Man, Iowa’s first-quarter production was a dumpster fire before this game.

Only once this season had Iowa scored more than seven points in the opening quarter, and that came against Middle Tennessee State (17) on Sept. 28.

The Hawkeyes boomed out of the gates, driving 75 yards in eight plays and scoring a touchdown on their opening possession.
