Hawkeye Report Podcast 652

Welcome to the latest edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast. Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo take one final look back at the win over Wisconsin. How impressive was that victory? Was that the best performance by the Iowa offensive line this season? 

We talk about the situation at quarterback this week and moving forward. It's Brendan Sullivan's job until it isn't and we discuss how the later part of 2021 Iowa football season tells you how Kirk Ferentz will likely handle this situation once Cade McNamara is healthy....and he's not yet cleared the concussion protocols. 

Then we take a deep dive into the UCLA Football team. After a bit of a rocky start at 1-5, the Bruins have won two straight on the road in conference play. But, they haven't won at home so far this season. Who are the key players to watch? What do we think of their offense, led by Ethan Garbers? Should Iowa throw the football more this week against a defense that is giving up a lot of yards in the air? 

We discuss Iowa's somewhat underwhelming start to the basketball season. A sloppy first half in their home opener before turning it on a bit in the second half for a comfortable victory. What we do we see so far from the Hawkeyes and what needs to get better?

Then we wrap up picking several games this weekend, inclduing the outcome of the Iowa at UCLA contest.
