Hawkeye Report Podcast talks Big Ten Football
It’s a special edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast. We turn our attention to the upcoming Big Ten football season with our good friend Scott Dochterman from The Athletic. He has taken a new role at The Athletic as more of a Big Ten reporter and talks about that to open the show.
Then we discuss Kaleb Brown and his DUI arrest this past weekend and how Kirk Ferentz might handle it. After that we move on to some heavy Big Ten talk. We start first with a look at the four newcomers to the conference and how they might perform. Can we learn anything from previous new conference teams and how they have done after joining the Big Ten?
Which team might be overrated and underrated coming into the Big Ten season and why? Is Ryan Day officially on the hot seat heading into this season? Are we giving Michigan too much credit heading into this year? Is Nebraska actually going to be good this season? Who are some of the top players on offense and defense heading into the season in the Big Ten?
We also talk about the College Football Playoff and the impact it will have on this season and which Big Ten teams could make it in. Could Iowa be one of those teams?
Speaking of the Hawkeyes, we know the defense will be good, but what about the offense? What are the expectation for Tim Lester’s offense heading into the 2024 season?
