Spring is here. For some, that may be the start of baseball season. For us, though, it is just another step closer to the game we all love: football.
Iowa released its first depth chart of the season in preparation for spring. Now, while Kirk Ferentz will always admit that the depth chart is more of a suggestion than an ironclad code, it gives us our first look inside the minds of the coaching staff. We can see which players they are high on and who can possibly rise to the occasion and fill some holes on this team.
Speaking of holes, today we’re talking about the offense. It was bad last year. We all know that, and we’ve spent months upon months talking about just how bad it was. Whether it is Brian Ferentz’s fault, the players’ fault, or a combination of both, that no longer matters. What we care about now is a hopefully better future. That starts with more points on the board.
Who are the players who will hopefully be putting the ball in the end zone more, though? Here is a closer look at the first released depth chart of the spring season with five key takeaways.
