2019 Iowa Hawkeyes Schedule Analysis
The Hawkeyes will get a couple of easy games before finding some real competition.
- Their start of the season will be hosting both Miami (OH) and Rutgers in the first two weeks.
- Their first real challenge will be on the road against Iowa State the following week.
- Their meeting in Ann Arbor against the Michigan Wolverines is troubling as well, probably even marked as a loss already.
October is a crucial month for Iowa as they host Penn State and Purdue before traveling to face Northwestern and Wisconsin on the road. The Hawkeyes will close out the season by playing away from home against Nebraska.
Overall, they have a well-balanced schedule. It comes without a severe stretch where the season could go in the trash in a matter of weeks.
Iowa Hawkeyes 2019 Roster Changes
The fate of the program will be in the hands of senior QB Nate Stanley.
The Hawkeyes have a solid QB who has thrown 52 TDs over the past two seasons combined, more than anybody in school history.
Losing Two Great Players, Backups Not As Good
Stanley lost two tremendous weapons – tight ends Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson; who left for the NFL. How good were those two? Well, both got picked in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft. So yeah, they were pretty good.
The junior wideouts Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Brandon Smith will become Stanley’s new best friends on the offense. Their central running back core is back, although they need to improve plenty.
Neither of the three best tailbacks on the team averaged more than 5.0 yards-per-carry in 2018.
Defense Needs To Step Up
Iowa needs to win on the defensive side. It is the side of the ball where they can separate themselves from the Big Ten competition. The Hawkeyes have arguably the best pass rusher in the conference in A.J. Epenesa.
His tandem with Chauncey Golston should be a problem for any opposite program. Also, the team returns three of their main four players in the secondary.
Iowa Hawkeyes Odds to Win the Big Ten Conference
MyBookie.ag has Iowa as a longshot to win the Big Ten Conference, listed at +2200. The wager on the Hawkeyes has a 45% implied probability of becoming a winner.
The only one missing is Amani Hooker who now players for the Tennessee Titans in the NFL.
Iowa Hawkeyes Odds to Win the National Championship
Iowa is not a National Championship contender, but they are at +12500 at Mybookie.ag.
It would take quite the season for the Hawkeyes to even be in the conversation.
Iowa Hawkeyes 2019 Season Win Total Prediction
Iowa should get exactly to eight wins this season. It’s a step back from last season, but it’s still a good enough record for a good bowl berth.
October and early November will be the key moments in their schedule.
