Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 03:55:00 GMT

Iowa Hawkeyes lock in Athletic Director Beth Goetz with a lucrative extension—can her leadership spark a new era of success in Iowa City?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 06:44:21 GMT

Elliot Clough provides insider analysis on standout performances from Kids Day, gives injury updates on players like Tyler Brown, and explores the unsettled special teams battles.

How Does Iowa Match Up Against The Schedule? w/Jeff from Eyes On B1G | WUW 706

Tyler Kluver — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 08:20:00 GMT

On this episode of the show, Tyler welcomes Jeff Buch ("Jeffrey the Greek") from the Eyes on B1G podcast to discuss Big Ten offseason chatter, social media drama sparked by Jeff’s position rankings, and how expanded 18-team perceptions affect fan expectations. They dive into Iowa’s approach to the transfer portal, noting savings from not buying a portal quarterback, confidence in Tim Lester’s offensive development, and the value of retaining and replacing starters with in-program depth—especially on the offensive line and linebacker. Key Iowa questions include the defensive line’s run-stopping and pass-rush potential, with mentions of Hubert, Gaffney, and edge options. They break down Iowa’s schedule as “3-3-6,” focusing on Iowa State, a tough Michigan/Washington/Ohio State stretch, and the back-half run through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois, and Nebraska. Jeff projects on what this season could be record wise as well as what success would be for this team.

Hawkeye Report Podcast 808

Tom Kakert — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 03:13:00 GMT

Iowa Football Media Day and the annual Kids Day open practice are in the books. That means we have to get on the podcast machine and talk a little Hawkeye football. Ok, a lot of Hawkeye Football.

We open with our look at the Hawkeyes search for a starting quarterback. As you might have heard, Jeremy Hecklinski threw five touchdown passes on Saturday and Hank Brown struggled. Kirk Ferentz said the battle between the two continues on. What did we see on Saturday and why is it going to be difficult to not have it impact the quarterback decision? Could this still drag out into the season and who will make the decision?

Then we also talk about the other players who stood out on Saturday. Why were we impressed by LJ Phillips, Evan James, Drew Campbell and others. Iowa also appears to have named a starting center and it's not going to be the guy who is the preseason All American at the position. We discuss that decision and why it's the best five starting in the right spots.

Finally, we talk about some younger players on the Iowa roster who were impressive in the open practice and their potential to impact games this fall.

But Jeremy Hecklinski's dominant performance at quarterback has certainly shifted the QB conversation with Iowa football, 3 weeks ahead of the season opener. The Register's Chad Leistikow and Tyler Tachman react to what they saw at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, August 15.

MEDIA DAY TAKEAWAYS: Iowa Hawkeyes Injury REPORT, Tyler Brown’s Return, and Wide Receiver Room SHINES

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 03:55:00 GMT

Iowa Hawkeyes reload for a new season as big questions swirl at quarterback and in the defensive backfield. Can Hank Brown or Jeremy Hechtlinski seize the QB1 spot, and will the Hawkeyes’ evolving safety rotation, featuring Tyler Brown and Anthony Hawkins, solidify Iowa’s signature defense? Speedy transfers Tony Diaz and Evan James bring fresh energy to the offense, while returning playmakers like Bryce Hawthorne and DJ Vonnahme aim to elevate both sides of the ball.

Trent Condon unpacks standout storylines from Iowa Football Media Day and sits down with Tom Kakert for insider takes on position battles, special teams uncertainty, and the crucial leadership void with just eight scholarship seniors. From the rise of Kamari Brown and the impact of new offensive coordinator Tim Lester to the potential of a deep, versatile offensive line, this episode sets the stage for Iowa’s most unpredictable campaign yet. Will the Hawkeyes’ newcomers and rising stars meet the program’s high expectations?
