The Chuck Long Podcast

Iowa moved on 5-1 on the season on Friday evening when they dominated Washington, 41-24 in Seattle. This week on the Chuck Long Podcast, we have plenty to discuss regarding the Hawkeyes and particularly the quarterback position. With Hank Brown out due to a shoulder issue, Jeremy Hecklinski stepped in and shined. 

We look back at his performance and how he stepped and played very well. What do the Hawkeyes do moving forward at the quarterback position when Brown is healthy? We talk to Long about what he would do and what we think Kirk Ferentz will end up doing and why this situation is a good problem to have in college football.

We also do a little x's and o's talk with what Tim Lester has been doing with his use of pre-snap motion and how that it creating problems for opposing teams and how they are using Tony Diaz to do it and how they are using tight ends in motion to create opportunites in the run game. 

After that, we talk about the defense and Phil Parker dialing up some new pressure looks. How they used linebackers to get more pressure and why they will need to do that moving forward. 

How should Iowa handle the bye week with their players? Rest some players or full speed ahead with work? 

Then we talk about another wild weekend in the Big Ten and what we make of it. Finally we wrap up with the show by picking games that we can actually watch fully this weekend with the Hawkeyes on a bye week.
