Hawkeye Report Podcast 828

It's our usual post game podcast following the Hawkeye game. It's Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo reviewing a tough loss to Minnesota. The first time that the Hawkeyes have lost to the Gophers in Minneapolis since 2014.

We dive into the big reasons for the 13-10 loss to Minnesota. That starts with an unusual number of turnovers by the Hawkeyes, including three interceptions and one fumble, plus a blocked punt. We breakdown the turnovers that occurred and the impact it had on the Hawkeyes performance. 

Of course the biggest topic after the game was the quarterback position. Jeremy Hecklinski got the start, but he was pulled in the later stages of the second quarter. Hank Brown replaced him and played the rest of the game. What did we think of the decision to remove Hecklinski when was taken out? Should they have given him at least a full half of football?  Should they have given Hecklinski another look in the second half? How did Brown play in this game?

We also discuss an impressive effort from the Iowa defense, putting out numerous fires in this game and keep the Hawkeyes in the contest. We talk about the players that impressed us in the game and they performed.
