The Iowa Hawkeyes are looking for a successful season, the 17th under the helm of Kirk Ferentz. The 2014 Iowa Hawkeyes Football Schedule has a lot of good spots and is listed below.
Iowa will play in the Big Ten West, which on papers looks like the easier division in the conference. This year could be the year Iowa steps up and shocks people, much like they did back in 2009, when the Hawkeyes finished 11-2.
Iowa should be favored in every game this season, up until their final two meetings of the year. The Hawkeyes will still host both Wisconsin and Nebraska in their final two regular season games and both have been tabbed as finishing higher in the division. But, Iowa could have a steamroll amount of momentum built up by that point in the season and did beat Nebraska last season by three touchdowns in Lincoln.
The offensive line should be good, Jake Rudock will be solid behind center for the Hawkeyes and Kevonte Martin-Manley is a dynamic star. Last year he averaged 15.7 yards per punt return as well.
Don't forget Iowa tailback Mark Weisman, who is a bull at his position. He nearly reached 1,000 yards last season and we expect him to have an even better season in 2014.
Iowa's defense has a chance to be very good as well. They are led by All-Big Ten tackle Carl Davis, a senior.
The West won't be good enough to cause Iowa problems all season. If the Hawkeyes can keep from turning the football over they'll be a solid club this season. We expect them to play in a decent bowl game.
