We sit down to preview Purdue, but it really isn't heavily Boilermaker focused in this one. We have a cool discussion into the X's and O's of the Matt Hankins 4th down stop from Saturday and how that could have potentially gone very bad for the Hawks. We also offer our opinions on the Ferentz/Franklin media comments about the injuries being real or fake.. Its like that one dress optical illusion, is it blue or pink? We also talk about some of the mindset of knowing you are 'supposed to win' and what that feels like week in and week out. Kevin was in a heated HOA meeting, we need to make Franklin the Turtle shirts, and Drake seeks Phil Parkers approval.. Plus as always we have Wards Winners. All of that and more!

90+ minutes of Hawkeye content. Those Hawkeyes, your Hawkeyes, are ranked #2 in the nation right now and we break down the ENTIRE game from Saturday where Iowa overcame Penn State 23-20. It was a week that felt like a month and it culminated in the best game Kinnick has seen in decades. The boys sit down to discuss every part of Saturday from Ettore 'Big E' Ewen giving the nation a "Hawks By A Million' and basting our brand into outer space, to the Injury issues that seemed to plague Penn State at the perfect, most opportune times. We talk Offensive struggles especially early in the game, Iowa getting 4 more interceptions, Clifford getting hurt, Nico's big catch, and everything in between. What a weekend it was, now sit back and debrief it all with us, the Walkons. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Drake and Tyler talk some Penn St jokes, and what it was like to play in big games, from the feeling of that week leading into Saturday to the Tunnel walk and everything in between. They talk managing the emotion and Drake gives his keys to the game. We also give some updates on flags, sleepers for the NICU, and merchandise coming down the line. In the second half of this episode Kevin joins the show and talks us through what it was like for him in weeks where the game was just 'bigger'. Kevin describes what the time at the hotel was like before a game, and we talk about the 'business trip' mindset. We discuss if we think that this era of Hawkeye Football is pushing to take over the West Division and become the team to beat for good. We also discuss Iowa's upcoming 'biggest recruiting weekend' ever, and if this Saturday alone could actually play a vital role in shaping the future of Iowa football. We finish with Wards Winners and our final thoughts on the matchup. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

Drake rejoins the show after his mysterious absence on Mondays episode and he actually brings some really good analysis on what he thinks is best for the Iowa Offense right now, the O-line specifically. We do some funny current event stuff, the Niemanns jersey swapped, an OSU player quit mid game, and you could walk on at Arizona this year! We also read some more podcast reviews. We talk about the vertical passing game opening up and if we think that has something to do with practice progression from Spencer Petras. Then, Dylan Spilko joins us from out East, he is the Top Deputy Editor or the Testudo Times, the Maryland school publication, and offers his insight on Terrapin personnel, and helps us better understand the matchup ahead on Friday night.

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.

They also talk Spencer Lee on Bussin with the Boys, Charlie Jones and Lou Malnatis pizza, and Josey Jewell's season ending injury. They recall the night of the Penn St game 2016 from Kickoff through falling asleep at 2:30 am, Walmart guy story is retold, and Ward's Winners is back for Week 4.

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.

Kevin and Tyler give their final thoughts on ISU as Kevin makes his return to the pod back from vacation on Monday. The focus eventually shifts to Kent St and what challenges the Flashes pose for the Hawkeyes this upcoming Saturday. We read a couple podcast reviews that are very entertaining, we talk NIL deals and why Caseys needs to hand Riley Moss the keys to their brand, and we briefly touch on what COULD BE with Penn St coming to Iowa City is a months time. How does the Kent St up tempo offense really affect a defense? What does the offense do to find rhythm in this game? Should Iowa actually be worried about a trap game? These questions and more PLUS the segment everyone hates to love, Wards Winners Week 3. 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.
