My takeaways from a few comments that caught my attention:

- OL will compete again for the Joe Moore award
- Sounds like Kennedy has moved into the two deeps at DT
- Sounds like Hawthorne has stepped it up a notch
- May see year 1 Jones as a a kick returner
- Vonnahame will be drafted next year and Ostrenga looks good
- Brown won the day vs. Hecklinski
- Sounds like our LBer and DB rooms are deep
- Big Ten guys said defense won the day

Can't wait for Northern Illinois, Go Hawks

The season will most likely play out like every single KF led squad

Iowa will manhandle the teams with smaller fronts and inexperienced / Inaccurate QBs

Struggle against the better teams who have the depth and ability to slow down or stop the run, putting the pressure on our QBs to make plays, especially when first option isn’t there.

Defense will do its thing well, but break down when it counts.
8-4 or 9-3

So we're still a quarterback away from great.

Tom Moore at 87 years old in the office at 3:45am. Reese Morgan still showing up shortly after that

Not an inaccurate summary.

Sounds like the DL and QB (again) will, barring significant injuries, determine whether this will be a good or great season.

I trust Phil to get the DL into shape. Not gnashing my teeth over QB…yet. Will wait to see how they perform in a game.

Yes, the defense has broken down when it counts multiple times over the past few years, but if the offense had done its job late in those games, it would be a moot point.

Wait, when did Morgan come back? Is he an analyst or what is his role now?

BAU

an offense away from being in the playoffs

He is at every game. Just goes in when he wants, but sounds like he is there every day yet. More relaxed role helping out like a volunteer

Soft schedule saves the season again. 8-4 ceiling, 5-7 basement if don't recover from the 3 game loss skid Mich-OSU-Wash. Key game will be at Minnesota. Hawks have their number but Minny may not piss away the game like they usually do in Minny.

With a Joe Moore type line, our TEs and the two RBs we have, we ain't going 0 - 3 in that stretch

Lolol.. "Soft schedule"? I don't think so. Compared to several other teams in the league like PSU we play murderer's row. Especially considering the toughest stretch (show me another league team with Iowa's schedule wk 4-6), Kicks off the B1G season, and we're usually better later in the year especially with a young team.

Methinks you don't understand the term ceiling.
