The Iowa defense will have their hands full with some of these teams. The road schedule alone was brutal but with the breakdown of the receiver corps, trips to Lincoln and Evanston are going to be extremely difficult.

I have Iowa football team’s receiving corps ranked pretty low to start the season because I am not sure they will be able to outweigh the loss of Fant and Hockenson. As we get into the season, we’ll have a better sense of how the offense operates. If they can have a strong running game and support from their new tight ends, look for the Iowa football team’s receiving corps to have a solid season.
