While it wouldn't have taken a perfect effort from your Iowa Hawkeyes, they did just enough to lose a winnable game against the #11 Indiana Hoosiers, 20-15 (sorry folks who had Indiana -6.5). On this first bye week of the season, the Hawkeye 4DT guys take some time to just look back on a disappointing game that pushed the Hawks to a similarly disappointing 3-2 start of the season. Brian and Zach will look to bounce back next week to provide their 4DT breakdown heading into a road matchup at Wisconsin. But, if you think this episode is going to be all negative, never fear - there is some light at the end of the episode as the guys talk about the latest addition to the Iowa WBB 2026 recruiting class!

One week into the B1G season and your Hawkeyes are 1-0 in the conference, with a new-look shootout win over Rutgers last Friday night! In this week's episode of the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast, Brian and Zach break down a game that didn't look a lot like a typical Iowa performance. The first half saw multiple long drives by Rutgers featuring downfield passing and, at least initially, a floundering Iowa defense. Fortunately, Iowa responded with a resilient offensive effort that saw Iowa mostly match Rutgers' success and trade blows through three quarters. Ultimately, Mark Gronowski and Iowa's offense, helped by the defense securing its first turnover of the year, came through in the clutch to secure a victory. Join the Hawkeye 4DT guys this week as they finally emphasize the offense on second down while providing some more critical words for the defense - what kind of world are we living in?!? Finally, the guys give their thoughts on #11 Indiana Hoosiers, who, early in 2025, have looked prepared to compete for the CFP playoff again as they did with an 11-1 season in 2024.

The guys start their discussion with a breakdown of Iowa's 47-7 win over UMASS, which saw the offense go vertical early and often - doing what was “right” instead of what was “easy” as Brian had hoped. The guys then look ahead to the Rutgers matchup to get you prepared for a Friday night fight with the Scarlet Knights.

Doug Wagner in for Simon Conway during Tuesday's first hour.
While it wasn't the opening game performance from the offense that we hoped for, it was the opening game performance that we got, which still resulted in a 34-7 week 1 win for your Iowa Hawkeyes! The Hawkeye 4DT guys come to you this week trying not to overreact to a, well, bad QB performance in week 1 that conjured up some of the ghosts of recent lackluster QB performances for your beloved Hawkeyes. Notwithstanding Iowa's inability to get anything going in the passing game, there were certainly some bright spots to discuss - including 300+ yards on the ground and a defense that was pretty stingy after the Great Danes were able to (briefly) take the lead on Saturday. Tune in this week to hear all of Zach's and Brian's reactions to week 1 and their preview of HATE WEEK, as the Hawkeyes travel to Jack Trice to take on the Cyclones in front of a Big Noon Kickoff crowd this coming Saturday.
