The Hawks dismantled the Terps last Friday 51-14. This team now sits at #3 in the country and has all the expectations in the world placed upon them. They control their destiny in the West by a wide margin, and much of the division has questions to answer before they can even think about the B1G title game. The Offense took many steps forward, highlighted by Arland Bruce, Progress by Petras, and some O-line stability. The Defense continued their run of dominance with the most impressive outing yet. 5 interceptions and a complete shut down of what was thought to be a top offense in the country. We talk about all of this and more along with some fun comparisons to the 2015 team as we try to limit ourselves from looking to far ahead. This is a big week, and that is an understatement.

What is wrong with the Hawks!?! Well, potentially nothing.. consider that? Or maybe there are some issues that need to be cleaned up. We talk about it all right here on 252 the CSU recap. After talking down the trap game concept, it looked like the Hawks overlooked the Rams, we discuss why we believe that is not the case, and give our reasons why it was such a slow start offensively against a 'lesser' team. We also break down why the Defense, who has looked like world beaters through this point in the season, looked to be lacking on Saturday... was that really the case? We discuss the state of the fanbase and why what we feel emotionally right now is being felt by PLENTY of teams that are ranked across the country and why we shouldn't let the number in front of our name fool us into unrealistic expectations.

Today we recap the Kent State game. Lots of Petras talk. Is he really our best option? Why would we keep someone better on the bench? Is the play calling limiting his down field throws or is a lack of separation by our receivers? Is it both or neither? We try to figure it out. The run game got going finally and T good looked great behind an offensive line that finally caught some footing and consistency. We also discuss how games like this, CSU, and others are avoided as 'Trap Games' from the inside and why perspective as a fan compared to the inside on a weekly basis is vastly different. Pottebaum is the total package, the Defense saw a couple broken coverages, and plenty more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The streak extends to 6 for the Iowa in the CyHawk series. Saturday boasted the biggest game between ISU and Iowa in the history of the matchup and the it didn't disappoint if you were wearing black and gold. We all know that through 2 games the defense has played out of their mind, we discuss why that may be the case and why their confidence will only continue to grow. Special teams was huge on Saturday, even more than people think, and we talk about why Tory Taylor and Charlie Jones are literally changing the game for the Hawkeyes. Spencer Petras took another step or 2 in proving that he is the guy. We talk about the 3 throws that end the discussion on if he is a true gamer or not, however why is he taking sacks on 3rd down? We have a couple answers to that question and explain why we are optimistic. We address the teams glaring weakness in the offensive line and what we think Schott returning to the lineup could do for production. Ohio St. lost to Oregon and showed for the 2nd straight week that they are not the team that OSU usually puts on the field, and this of course leaves the top of the Big Ten more open than usual. We talk the Hawks resume, best in the country, and why this team could be special. Kevin makes an All-Time cameo from his Las Vegas hotel room, Drake rants of course, the F-bomb fund is fully loaded, and the Walkons have a HUGE bounce back week in betting picks for week 2!

In todays recap episode we discuss the big opening day win for the Hawks. Iowa completed a 34 to 6 victory in dominating fashion over the 17th ranked Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, but even in such triumph there remains many unanswered questions. Why are the specialists leading the swarm? What are our thoughts on how each unit played this weekend? Did Petras looked as if he has improved? Did he even get the chance to show real rhythm and flow? Does it look like the young offensive line will be enough to dominate this year? Did the D-line play sufficient football to compliment the back 7? Is there anyone in the country better than that back 7? haha All of these questions answered and more as well as tiny tidbits of speculation as we look forward to Week 2.

Drew is from Giltner Nebraska, and found his way to Iowa City after the Huskers overlooked him during recruiting. Drew, as you can hear in his voice, is pretty good at rolling with the punches and continuing to take life head on, sometimes too literally. Like the time he was sideswiped by someone while driving his moped and ended up on their windshield, an accident that totaled the moped but didn't kill it as Drew plans to turn it into a go-kart. That project and 70 more are sitting on the farm with Drew as he and his Wife Kali, a former Iowa Basketball player herself, are now back in Nebraska on the family farm. We talk about Drew seeing the field early, his earliest memories of him lifting weights, graduating HS with 10 other people, and being a "Winner".

He craps all over CrossFit, tells us about his diet, what it was like training to be an NFL O-lineman post college, and a whole lot more.Learn more about your ad choices.
