Hawkeye Report Podcast 810

It's a jam packed new podcast as we head back into the start of the Iowa Hawkeyes Football season. We start the show by visiting with Northern Illinois play by play man Andy Garcia. The Huskies have had quite a bit of change heading into this season. We discuss their move to the Mountain West and then dive into their coaching change that took place in February, which elevated defensive coordinator Rob Harley to the head coaching position. 

Garcia discusses the Huskies unclear quarterback battle and what he has seen from their options. We also talk about their very good running back in Telly Johnson Jr., along with a younger defense and what they will present on that side of the ball. 

Then we are joined by the Iowa football radio analyst Pat Angerer for our annual preview of the upcoming Hawkeye football season. We open talking about the hottest topic for Iowa fans, the race at quarterback. Angerer played in 2008 when Kirk Ferentz played two quarterbacks to start the season. We look back on what that was like and if it's a distraction or simply more important for fans than players. 

After that we dive into the Iowa offense and some of the players that he has seen in practice or watched on film that have impressed him on that side of the ball. He also named a couple of players that we would call stock risers heading into the season. Then we look at the Hawkeye defense. Is the defenisve line going to be better than we initially thought? What has he seen from Cam Buffington? What about the defensive secondary and the talent back there?
