5 rapid reactions to Iowa’s Week 1 depth chart reveal

The Iowa Hawkeyes unveiled their Week 1 depth chart versus Utah State. What are five rapid reactions to the release?

It’s officially game week! The Iowa Hawkeyes will play host to the Utah State Aggies come Saturday, Sept. 2, inside Kinnick Stadium at 11 a.m. on FS1.

It’s the third all-time meeting between the two. The Hawkeyes own a 2-0 mark, topping the Aggies, 70-14 during the 1957 season and, 48-7, back in 2002.

This marks the second straight season that Iowa has played host to a Mountain West Conference foe. Last season, Iowa shutout Nevada, 27-0, in a Week 3 contest that was perhaps best remembered for all of its weather delays. The Hawkeyes boast an 11-1-1 mark versus MWC opposition.

With game week’s arrival, it also means an official depth chart sighting.

What stands out about the Hawkeyes’ initial 2023 depth chart? Let’s dive in below.
