The Hawkeyes put together their second dominant performance of the season, shutting out Northern Iowa on their way to a 55-0 win on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium. Following the victory, Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo hopped on the podcast matchine and discussed it.
We talk about the incredible performance running the football by three of Iowa's backs, all reaching over 100 yards on the day. That was done without the Hawkeyes top two backs coming into the season even playing a snap. We dicuss the continued development of Hank Brown, who was a perfect 12-12 throwing the football in the win over the Panthers, including a pair of scores. What we have we seen from Brown and his development. What did Kirk Ferentz say regrarding whether Brown is officially the starting quarterback?
We talk about how well the defense continues to play so far this season and where they can probably improve heading into Big Ten play. Also, we look ahead to the massive three game stretch of games that includes a trip to Michigan, hosting Ohio State, and on the road to Washington on a short week. Has our outlook on those three games changed?
