What do you mean by 2-3? In the Big Ten? I agree. If Cade stays healthy and/or Iowa adds a QB in the portal, the schedule isn’t daunting enough to think Iowa couldn’t go 11-1 in the regular season. It’s quite the “IF” though.

I guess we will see. I'm optimistic, but still have a long way to go. Until our OL fully changes, we are not a playoff team. I think defensively we are close and just need to continue to develop. Offensively we have a long way to go still. Need some difference makers to emerge at the skill positions and have a go to TE, RB, WR. I also hope DR pans out or Danny K builds himself up through hard work and competition. OL to me though is going to be the key. We've recruited well, now need to develop and play well.
Cade is not a great QB. He looked decent at Michigan because of that OL and way more weapons. Iowa OL also has looked in decline the last few years and Iowa doesn't have a difference maker RB like it usually does. I agree that Iowa always has a good D that keeps you in games, but you are going to have to go get some skill players and a good QB. NU and Iowa have a lot of the same problems right now. Until Iowa can show some progress on O, it is probably going to be hard to recruit offensive skill players to come play there outside of TE.
I know you’re obsessed with this notion and I’m not putting money on it, but Micheal Penix just finished a full season after two ACL surgeries. Let’s not act like it’s not common.
Iowa is in the market for a multi year QB, that’s proven. Lainez SHOULD get the majority of first team reps this spring, but as you’ve said Kirk is weird at the QB position.
Cade doesn’t have to be great. Be manageable. I do think it’s gonna be tough going early on in the year with a new offensive scheme. That part does scare me.

He definitely won the fan base today. Very impressive. Sounds like Kirk is gonna let him do his thing. “Aggressive, uptempo, RPO…” Will see if it translates and is cohesive under Kirk.SIAP. He has spoken……

For the sake of all things holy it would be nice if Kkkirk would change a little. Uptempo - don’t see that panning out and RPO’s with Deacon will be amazing.
Honestly if Kirk would have at least let his kid try something different maybe he wouldn’t have been axed.
The annual “this is the year for iowa” has officially begun. It will be sweet to watch them flame out again in 2024, like they’ve done every season for over 60 years. Irrelevant Iowa football, dumba$$ iowa fans every year since 1958.
