BIG 10 Conference - Iowa Hawkeyes Preview
It was not pretty for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the past, but head coach Kirk Ferentz and his personnel coached Iowa to its fifth straight bowl invite. The squads stats crashed in 2005, but that was a cause of losing some important players. Nonetheless they were hurting with a number of close losses, but seem to be on the brink of something spectacular in 2006. Quarter back Drew Tate returns for his senior campaign, and he will be the chief of what seems to be one of the more lethal offensive units in the entire nation. The Offensive line is crammed with veteran experience, and skill, and should improve upon last seasons numbers that saw them open up holes for an amazing 4.8 YPC, while giving up only 19 QB sacks. They are also loaded with speed and quickness in the backfield with the combination of Albert Young (Big 10 # 1 rusher), and Damina Sims.

The defense was bothered early on last season by an immature Defensive line. That will not be the scenario in 2006, as the front wall comes in experienced and is ranked amongst the countrys best. However, the LB corps takes a huge hit but has skilled veterans looking for an opportunity to step up. The secondary loses both of its corners, but returns six of eight and should improve upon last seasons number with a better defensive line. Special teams are amazing, once again led by K Kyle Schlicher who is nothing but money when his points matter most.
