Iowa has 8 starters back on the 5th rated National Defv last year .... they have the best lb corp in the League along with the best defv backfield as well

Stanzi is back at qb and love the kid and Iowa is deep at rb with Hampton ready to go and Brinson a 3 star stud rb out of Florida along with a kid named Weghner who was rated a 4* rb and wanted by Auburn and Nebraska ... Moeaki if healthy is the best TE in the confc and the offv line rated #2 nationally by Sporting News .. they actually have deep quality at wr with a frosh 4* wr with great hands who most likely plays a lot

They now have quality depth at all positions as the 2 backup qbs were top 11 Nationally ranked and depth at the offv line out of the ass ....

Iowa at Penn State
Iowa at OSU

Their schedule is a bear but Ferentz has a great staff and the stability is why they have been able to land some real top notch players and why New Years Day Game #6 this year is a very probable situation
