    Hawkeye Report Podcast 824

    It's the post game Hawkeye Report Podcast and for the first time in the 2026 season, it comes after a loss. Iowa lost to Ohio State, 31-14 on Saturday afternoon. Everything was great about Friday and Saturday in Iowa City with ESPN College Game Day and Caitlin Clark back in Iowa City, but the only thing that went bad was the actual game.  We look back at the loss and what went wrong for the Hawkeyes against the Buckeyes. Why it was important for Iowa to put points up early, but they felt settling for field goals and how good was star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith for the Buckeyes in this game. How much did Iowa being without their starting safeties impact the game and Iowa's passing defense?  Jeremy Hecklinski jumped in at quarterback and played well. Does this open up the quarterback race once again and what is Hank Brown's status moving into next week, on a short week having to travel to Washington. We also look at the struggles of the Iowa ground game and why it is concerning this season.  Plus we have a few Iowa men's basketball news and notes items for upcoming events.

    Hawkeye Report Podcast 823

    Fun new podcast for the middle of the week leading up to a huge football game on Saturday against Ohio State with ESPN College GameDay in town. We are thrilled to have on the show this week George Wrighster from the Unafraid Show and On3 to look back at the Iowa win over Michigan and we preview the game against Ohio State. The former Oregon Duck and NFL Tight End talks about what he saw from Iowa against the Wolverines and we fully preview the contest against the Buckeyes. What are his thoughts this season on Ohio State and how does he see that game playing out? Then we move over to talking to Kyle Huesmann and Tom Kakert about the upcoming game against the Buckeyes. What do we think of the Ohio State squad this year and their ability on both sides of the ball. This year they have the best player in the country in Jeremiah Smith, but the rest of the receivers have not put up huge numbers this year. We also look how they have given up a decent amount of rushing yards this year.  Then we pick games this week in college football, including the Hawkeyes and the Buckeyes contest.

    The Chuck Long Podcast

    This week on the Chuck Long podcast, Tom Kakert and Chuck Long discuss one of the most stunning victories of the Kirk Ferentz era. Iowa went into the Big House at Michigan and walked it off with an incredible 20-19 victory. Was this the most Kirk Ferentz win of the Ferentz era? We start with the game winning play and the drive that Hank Brown authored on Saturday. Can a drive like the really elevate a quarterback and his play moving forward. Long talks about how a game in his day gave him confidence moving forward and how he could see that with Brown after this game winning drive. We also discuss the the other touchdown pass by caught by Reece Vander Zee and his route running along with the two high level throws made by Brown in those situations.  Then we discuss the struggles of the Iowa ground attack against good teams, like Iowa State and now Michigan. Why is Iowa struggling to run the ball and what are some potential solutions? What would Long recommend for an easy solution to open up the box a bit more for running lanes? We also dive into the Iowa defense and what we like and how they have been able to take opposing teams into deep water and get stops in the red zone. Then we look at another wild week in the Big Ten and look at several of the game this past weekend before picking some winners this coming weekend, including the Ohio State vs. Iowa game.

    Hawkeye Report Podcast 822

    What in the world just happened? That's what Iowa fans were thinking as they celebrated the Hawkeyes walk-off win on Saturday at Michigan. It was the first road win over a ranked Big Ten team in over a decade and it was a pretty incredible victory. Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo break it down shortly after the win. We discuss the final drive that saw Hank Brown connect with Reece Vander Zee for the score. We talk about the decision the drive before by Kirk Ferentz to try a long field goal and miss and how many were being critical of that decision, but Ferentz ends up geting the victory. We also talk about Brown and his development as a quarterback and the progress he has made since his poor performance at Kids Day in Iowa City. Also, we talk about the Iowa defense coming up with a big stop late in the game that made that final drive possible and we look ahead to next week and also what this win over Michigan means longer term this season. Also, could ESPN College Game Day be coming to Iowa City?

    Hawkeye Report Podcast 821

    It's time to really dive into the Hawkeyes first road game of the year. Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann are joined by Clayton Sayfie from The Wolverine to breakdown the game in Ann Arbor this weekend. We talk to Sayfie about the up and down start to the Michigan season and the play of quarterback Bryce Underwood.

We look at the concerns we have from an Iowa perspective heading into this game with a young Hawkeye team making it's first road trip and Iowa's struggles on the road against ranked opponents. We discuss the running back room and what that might look like and how turnovers will be the key to this game and probably impact the outcome.

    The Chuck Long Podcast

    This week on the Chuck Long Podcast, Tom Kakert and Chuck Long are talking a whole lot of Iowa and Big Ten football. We open talking about the Hawkeyes win over Northern Iowa and we wonder about the growing divide between the FBS and the FCS and if these type of games are even worth playing moving forward.  We talk about the development of Hank Brown and what Long is seeing in terms of his development. What is he seeing in terms of improvement and going through his progressions and how that has gotten better. Also we talks about the strong running game and how the Hawkeyes had three 100 yard rushers. What should Iowa do in terms of a pecking order in the event that the three backs, plus Kamari Moulton and LJ Phillips are healthy? We also discuss the 1983 game against Minnesota where the Hawkeyes had three 100 yard rushers and why Long didn't play in that game.  Also, we stroll down memory lane with Iowa vs. Michigan memories. Long talks about the 1981 win at Michigan and what that did for the program in their Rose Bowl season. We also look at several other games against the Wolverines and the challenge of playing in the Big House.  Then we look at Michigan this year and assess how good Byce Underwood is at quarterback. Plus we look back at the Big Ten this past weekend and what impressed us and what didn't. Finally we wrap up picking some games from the upcoming Big Ten slate of games.

    Hawkeye Report Podcast 820

    The Hawkeyes put together their second dominant performance of the season, shutting out Northern Iowa on their way to a 55-0 win on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium. Following the victory, Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo hopped on the podcast matchine and discussed it.  We talk about the incredible performance running the football by three of Iowa's backs, all reaching over 100 yards on the day. That was done without the Hawkeyes top two backs coming into the season even playing a snap. We dicuss the continued development of Hank Brown, who was a perfect 12-12 throwing the football in the win over the Panthers, including a pair of scores. What we have we seen from Brown and his development. What did Kirk Ferentz say regrarding whether Brown is officially the starting quarterback?  We talk about how well the defense continues to play so far this season and where they can probably improve heading into Big Ten play. Also, we look ahead to the massive three game stretch of games that includes a trip to Michigan, hosting Ohio State, and on the road to Washington on a short week. Has our outlook on those three games changed?
