Hope the Hawks can snap that west coast streak.

Hard to disagree with how the list turned out. With Kirk's record in the West, USC almost feels like a guaranteed loss, so seeing it so high makes sense. Really no games outside of Albany and UMass are a cake walk, this is the hardest schedule I've seen us have in years.

Good writeup Kyle. I'm glad Penn State and Oregon are in Kinnick, season ticket holders have a pretty good slate. I do think Nebraska will be improved, but Iowa is 20-3 in November since 2019.

Honestly, I think the game at USC is the most difficult. KF has shown a penchant for upsetting Top 5 teams in Kinnick, but has not shown any ability whatsoever to win out West (the Holiday Bowl notwithstanding).
