The long, cold, harsh winter of no college football has finally ended and Week 1 is upon all of us. It is time to rejoice. There is hope for every team still and a full season ahead of rollercoaster ups and downs to endure.
But, if it was easy, would it really be that much fun? The unknown and drama is what makes it fun. The 2023 Iowa Hawkeyes college football season is fully stocked with the unknown and drama. Iowa’s unknown that everyone is waiting to get answered is how the new look offense is going to fair in 2023 with Cade McNamara at the helm and a full stable of pass catchers.
The drama, fun or not, can be tied to the offense. There is certain to be drama around Brian Ferentz’s job and his target of 25 points per game. It will rear its head at some point this season. Hawkeyes fans just have to hope it isn’t in a crucial moment.
Nonetheless, those questions are about to start getting answered. And with that, here are the 2023 game-by-game staff predictions from myself, Riley Donald, and fellow Hawkeyes Wire staff members, Josh Helmer and Jacob Keppen.
