- QB/OL: Iowa's Defense has been VERY, VERY good in the first 3 games.

- Pick/market: I’m with Sean on this one.

- Defense: Always thought Ronnie's first fumble looked pretty suspicious.

- DL: I remained concerned about defensive line performance in this coming stretch.

- Pick/market: Salivating at the thought of Julian Manson and cam Buffington starting at the two linebacker spots next year.

- Pick/market: Kirk said he was fine after the game.

- Pick/market: It is a pretty safe pass too!

- Defense: they would seem to be beatable.

- Injury: Only way he gets starter minutes this year is if we have multiple injuries at the lb position

- QB/DL: After this year I’m sure we will need to pay to retain our guys more but it looks like another year we won’t chase a QB so hopefully should be able to use our...

- QB/LB: i based my opinion on your defense mostly off returning starters and the fact that iowa is a developmental program, also didn't improve bigly in the portal...you guys had a legit qb competition and...

- DB: I felt bad for UNI….it might be time for college football to keep FBS separate from playing FCS schools.

- DB: Brown looked completely lost on a read option early in the game.

- Offense: Here are the stats for the Iowa Hawkeyes to date in the 2026 season and how they rank nationally among all 138 teams in FBS football this year.

- Pick/market: If I'm Tim Lester...I'm devising 3-4 plays a game to get the ball to Braeden Jackson in the open field...swing passes, jet sweeps, etc.

- OL/LB: What stands out to me (in a good way for Iowa) is their numbers along the o-line and in the secondary being surprisingly low.

- Pick/market: IOWA CITY, Iowa-- It didn't take long for the Hawkeyes to dominate the overmatched Northern Iowa Panthers.

- DB: Defense let them escape without much resistance, alas.

- LB: Iowa going from Buffington to Manson at linebacker in a few years

- After Iowa's 55-0 win over Northern Iowa, Kirk Ferentz called Hank Brown the starter and said he had become more comfortable with each outing, while remaining pleased with Jeremy. The staff wanted Jeremy in during the first half but gave Hank one more series first to avoid repeatedly taking him in and out. - With Kamari and LJ out against Northern Iowa, Ferentz credited Iowa's three young running backs and the blocking by the line, tight ends and receivers. He said Xavier had been nicked up but looked like himself again. Brevin Doll also could not go on special teams; the coach did not give these players a next-game availability commitment. - Ferentz said DJ's absence gave Addison Ostrenga the chance to be Iowa's primary option in that role against Northern Iowa. Ostrenga scored after returning from last year's Achilles injury; the coach credited his rehabilitation work. The remarks describe this game's opportunity, not a permanent depth-chart change or a return date for DJ. - Ferentz said Bryce Hawthorne appeared to be doing well after leaving the field and receiving further evaluation at halftime against Northern Iowa. He still deferred a firmer update until Tuesday. That is a qualified postgame assessment, not a diagnosis, medical clearance or confirmation of availability against Michigan. - In the supplied SwarmCast analysis, the reporters said Tyler Brown started over Anthony Hawkins against Northern Iowa and recorded two tackles and a forced fumble in limited work, his first snaps at Iowa. They viewed the outing as useful safety depth before Michigan; they did not report a permanent change to the safety order.

- Injury: Complete domination against a bad team with no major injuries - only concern is the DLine.

- LB/KICKER: Parkers defense will keep Iowa in every game.
