Iowa Football: How Aussie Punter Boston Everitt Mastered the Art of “Punting is Winning”
Iowa Hawkeyes punter Boston Everitt may be playing the first six games of his American football career, but his ice-cold demeanor in front of seventy thousand plus fans suggests he was born for the pressure.

The Tale of the Tape: Hecklinski vs Brown
The old saying goes if you have two quarterbacks then you have no quarterbacks.

Can Jeremy Hecklinski Jumpstart Iowa’s Offense?
It’s been a tale of two seasons for Iowa’s offense to start the 2026 slate. When the season kicked off, there was some trepidation about what exactly we would get with Hank Brown running the show. He was splitting time with Jeremy Hecklinski as the starting job was still up for grabs, but it seemed […]
The Pants Predicts: Iowa at Washington
It’s a short week and the Hawkeyes are two time zones to the west facing off with the Washington Huskies at 8pm tonight. That’s historically been a recipe for disaster under Kirk Ferentz.

Iowa Hawkeyes Football: Washington Huskies Game Preview
This Friday, the 4-1 Iowa Hawkeyes head to Seattle to face the University of Washington Huskies with both teams looking to rebound following losses.

2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 6
Well done, Iowa City. It had been 20 years since College Game Day visited and that energy and excitement was on full display. Sure, the result of the game was pretty much the same as the one back in 2006, but forget what happened on the field for a moment. It was so much fun […]

By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Washington
Iowa doesn’t beat Ohio State very often, and they didn’t last Saturday. The defense played well, but the offense left them in the unenviable position of spending 16 extra minutes of playing time on the field and that took a toll. The offense has to get better or this season could go off the rails […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 5
We’re near the mid-point of the season, already. How?? Ohio State solidified their spot at #2. Nebraska and UCLA move up. Iowa moves down. The top half of the league is tough. The bottom of the league is a joke. Let’s rank everyone after Week 5. 1. #7 Indiana (5-0, 2-0) Took care of business […]
Can the Hawkeyes Bounce Back on Short Week in Washington?
While there was certainly plenty of optimism around Iowa City last weekend with all the festivities and fresh off a thrilling win in Ann Arbor, things came crashing down on the Hawkeyes in a big way Saturday.

KIRK SPEAKS: Washington
Well folks, Saturday was not a super fun game by any stretch of the imagination, was it? The Iowa Hawkeyes got beat in almost every facet of the game by Ohio State. However, this is also true of every other opponent Ohio State has played this year except Texas, so it’s not necessarily the end […]

Hawks in the NFL: Week 4

Wound Up & Rewind: Self-Inflicted Wounds Doom Iowa Against Ohio State
It’s Monday morning and I am still wound up tighter than a drum. “Put it into perspective, this game was against THE Ohio State”, some will say. “This game does not define Iowa’s season.” Yes, that would be a reasonable, rational response. The problem is that I am not feeling reasonable and rational at the […]
The Morning After the Morning After: Overwhelmed
The start to the day Saturday was fantastic. Great weather. Great GameDay experience for all involved. The fans were ready. They believed. Iowa City was buzzing Friday and Saturday in anticipation of this game. But I went into all of this with such low expectations. It’s Ohio State, after all. I’ll probably say that a […]
Hawkeye Football: Instant Reaction Iowa Overmatched by Ohio State 31-14
The Hawks put themselves in an early hole, with Brown fumbling on their first series and OSU recovering at their 14-yard line. In the blink of an eye Ohio State was up 7 – 0 and it never felt good from there on out. Iowa did pass on multiple first downs and attempted 32 pass […]

Win or Lose to Ohio State, Iowa’s Playoff Path is Alive
A week ago, your Iowa Hawkeyes were a plucky 3-0 team staring down the barrel of the hardest three-game stretch of their season and perhaps of anyone in the country.

Good morning Hawkeye fans! After an exhilarating road win to kick off their Big Ten conference slate, your Iowa Hawkeyes are back home in Iowa City with all the pomp and circumstance that today’s matchup warrants.

The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs Ohio State
The Hawkeyes passed a major test a week ago when they went into Ann Arbor and walked out with a walk off win. But there’s no rest for the weary as Iowa returns home to face an even bigger test this week with the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes in town. OSU is a virtual juggernaut […]

This Saturday, ESPN Gameday comes to Iowa City for the first time in 20 years as the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

2026 College Football Watch Guide – Week 5
I still haven’t come down from the high of Iowa’s walk off touchdown win against the Wolverines last week. So this week I’m going to have a little fun with the Watch Guide intro. We’re going to rank the retro logos of all 18 Big Ten teams. Purely unscientific, purely subjective, purely for fun. Let’s […]
Hawks in the NFL: Week 3

Caitlin Clark refused to lose
“The f—k you think this was” shouted an amped up Caitlin Clark after hitting a 4th quarter dagger 3, contested from well behind the arch by presumed MVP A’ja Wilson. Our beloved Hawkeye legend and her Indiana Fever faced playoff elimination Tuesday night having lost game 1 on Sunday (WNBA round one playoff series are […]
By The Numbers: Iowa vs. Ohio State
This time last week I was trying to find any reason I could to pick Iowa to beat Michigan at the Big House and I just didn’t think they could do it. Michigan’s defense is elite, their offense is better than average, and I just didn’t think that Hank “Ice in his veins” Brown could […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 4
The first full week of Big Ten play is in the books. UCLA is coming up out of nowhere. Mike Locksley still has a job and will fix things. Our Iowa Hawkeyes talking…playoffs? 1. #6 Indiana (4-0, 1-0) Holding on at the top, but only just. Yeah, they got some big chunk plays on Northwestern’s […]
KIRK SPEAKS: Ohio State
I don’t know about y’all, but I am still absolutely BUZZING from last weekend’s victory at Michigan. It’s just so rare to win a game in that fashion, let alone as the Iowa Hawkeyes, let alone against a team that was gifted a win on a last second pass a few weeks prior. Sometimes life […]

Iowa, Ohio State Each Look for Redemption in GameDay Showdown
Entering last weekend, things felt somewhat ominous for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Wound Up & Rewind: Hawkeyes Stun Michigan 20-19
Perhaps the title for this Iowa vs. Michigan matchup should have been “First One to Twenty Wins!” It proved to be a classic Big Ten defensive chess match laced with clutch offensive plays. The Hawkeyes defense found a way to bend like a tree in a hurricane, staying just close enough to close the deal. […]
