Hawkeye 4DT – Nebraska Preview 2025
Although it was against B1G-winless MSU, it sure felt good to be on the right side of a late game comeback win as Iowa comes out on top 20-17 against Sparty on Senior Day in Iowa City. The Hawkeye 4DT guys have plenty to discuss coming out of Saturday’s game, but it’s better to be talking about 7-4 Iowa Hawkeyes team, Kaden Wetjen’s heroics and Mark Gronowski’s 4th quarter Superman impression than lamenting a 6-5 team, coming off a terrible loss and heading into the final game of the season in Lincoln, Nebraska. Speaking of Nebraska, Zach and Brian look ahead to Friday and try to predict what new and novel way the Huskers can trip over themselves on the way to another Hawkeye walk-off FG - we all know that Drew Stevens has some recent practice with that!

Hawkeye 4DT – Michigan State Preview 2025
The script is starting to look familiar as your Iowa Hawkeyes once again come up just short against another top 20 opponent. This time Iowa fell 26-21 to the USC Trojans, after seeing an 11 point halftime lead melt away in rainy Southern California. The Hawkeye 4DT guys convene again this week to talk each other off the ledge as fans are left trying to deal with a once-promising season that now looks eerily similar to the 2010 Hawkeyes, with close losses to good teams. But, despite the losses, the Hawkeyes have three more games, and Brian and Zach give their thoughts heading into Senior Day in Iowa City, as Iowa takes on a struggling Sparty to try and get back in win column in November.

Hawkeye 4DT – USC Preview 2025
Not much to say other than heartbreak this week as Iowa comes up just short against Oregon, who ripped our hearts out and crushed our CFP dreams with a last second field goal to escape Iowa City with an 18-16 win. The Hawkeye 4DT guys break out the therapy couches for this one as they look back at couldas, wouldas, and shouldas and what might have been. Even with the disappointment coming out of Oregon, it was always going to be a tall task to go out west to take on USC. Brian and Zach finish by looking ahead to taking on another high-flying offense in the Trojans and what it’ll take to win one on the road in California!

Hawkeye 4DT – Oregon Preview 2025
That Minnesota win was so good that the Hawkeye 4DT guys decided to take their own bye week. Have no fear, this week's episode jumps in the way back time machine (you know, like, 10 days ago) to recap Iowa's 41-3 domination of the Golden Gophers before turning full attention to this week's matchup against Oregon inside Kinnick Stadium. After scoring TDs in all three phases, the Hawkeyes entered the bye week on a roll and looking to get healthy, while the fans spent that time dreaming about some November and Kinnick magic against Puddles and the rest of the Ducks. Brian and Zach provide their 4DT breakdown of the Iowa football squad heading into meaningful November games - while many (most?) Iowa fans left the Hawks' playoff hopes for dead after the Indiana game, with four games left in the 2025 season, the guys look at what it will take for Iowa to finally break into the CFP discussion and find themselves in the 12-team tournament.

Hawkeye 4DT – Minnesota Preview 2025
Plain and simple, The Gronowski Game - another exciting installment in the PSU / Iowa rivalry, which saw the Iowa Hawkeyes and QB1 run by the Penn State Nittany Lions for a 25-24 win. While far from a perfect outing, the Hawkeye 4DT guys take a look back at a game that saw the Iowa offense come through to gut out a home win after battling back from an 11 point deficit in the second half. Brian and Zach then look ahead at the home matchup against the, surprisingly, 5-2, Minnesota Golden Gophers, who, while inconsistent, are building momentum after a Friday night win over a ranked Nebraska team.

Turns out, all those push ups didn’t do the BADgers any good as your Iowa Hawkeyes doubled-down on their impressive 32 point win in 2024 with an even more impressive encore in 2025, shutting out Wisconsin at Camp Randall for the first time since 1929, with a 37-0 road win! Join the Hawkeye 4DT guys as they return from Las Vegas (a little lighter in the wallet) to break down Iowa’s complete dominance in Madison before turning their attention to the new look Penn State Nittany Lions. Brian and Zach break down what to expect from PSU when it comes to Iowa City without its long-term starting QB, Drew Allar, who is injured and out for the season, and without stalwart head coach, James Franklin, who was relieved of his HC duties earlier in the week after not only failing to find a way to win the “big one,” but also finding ways to lose multiple “little ones.” The only bad part is that the Hawks weren’t the ones to show him the door!

After a relaxing bye weekend, in this episode of the Hawkeye 4DT podcast, Brian and Zach get back to it by first talking about some final thoughts on the Indiana loss before offering up their 4DT breakdown heading into Saturday night’s match-up against perennial rival and former B1G West foe, the Wisconsin Badgers. These may not be Barry Alvarez’s Badgers, coming in at 2-3 and facing a gauntlet of a schedule, but there is always a reason to be concerned when hitting the road for a night game in Camp Randall.

Hawkeye 4DT – Bye Week #1 2025
While it wouldn't have taken a perfect effort from your Iowa Hawkeyes, they did just enough to lose a winnable game against the #11 Indiana Hoosiers, 20-15 (sorry folks who had Indiana -6.5). On this first bye week of the season, the Hawkeye 4DT guys take some time to just look back on a disappointing game that pushed the Hawks to a similarly disappointing 3-2 start of the season. Brian and Zach will look to bounce back next week to provide their 4DT breakdown heading into a road matchup at Wisconsin. But, if you think this episode is going to be all negative, never fear - there is some light at the end of the episode as the guys talk about the latest addition to the Iowa WBB 2026 recruiting class!

Hawkeye 4DT – Indiana Preview 2025
One week into the B1G season and your Hawkeyes are 1-0 in the conference, with a new-look shootout win over Rutgers last Friday night! In this week’s episode of the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast, Brian and Zach break down a game that didn't look a lot like a typical Iowa performance. The first half saw multiple long drives by Rutgers featuring downfield passing and, at least initially, a floundering Iowa defense. Fortunately, Iowa responded with a resilient offensive effort that saw Iowa mostly match Rutgers’ success and trade blows through three quarters. Ultimately, Mark Gronowski and Iowa’s offense, helped by the defense securing its first turnover of the year, came through in the clutch to secure a victory. Join the Hawkeye 4DT guys this week as they finally emphasize the offense on second down while providing some more critical words for the defense - what kind of world are we living in?!? Finally, the guys give their thoughts on #11 Indiana Hoosiers, who, early in 2025, have looked prepared to compete for the CFP playoff again as they did with an 11-1 season in 2024.

The guys start their discussion with a breakdown of Iowa’s 47-7 win over UMASS, which saw the offense go vertical early and often - doing what was “right” instead of what was “easy” as Brian had hoped.

While it wasn’t the opening game performance from the offense that we hoped for, it was the opening game performance that we got, which still resulted in a 34-7 week 1 win for your Iowa Hawkeyes! The Hawkeye 4DT guys come to you this week trying not to overreact to a, well, bad QB performance in week 1 that conjured up some of the ghosts of recent lackluster QB performances for your beloved Hawkeyes. Notwithstanding Iowa’s inability to get anything going in the passing game, there were certainly some bright spots to discuss - including 300+ yards on the ground and a defense that was pretty stingy after the Great Danes were able to (briefly) take the lead on Saturday. Tune in this week to hear all of Zach’s and Brian’s reactions to week 1 and their preview of HATE WEEK, as the Hawkeyes travel to Jack Trice to take on the Cyclones in front of a Big Noon Kickoff crowd this coming Saturday.

Before wrapping up with the final Hawkeye 4DT breakdown of the season, Brian and Zach look back on a 29-13 road win against Maryland, which saw the first start of the Jackson Stratton era, two 100 yard rushers, and a first half offensive production by the Terrapins that clearly had Brian Ferentz’s fingerprints all over it! The guys also tip their caps to a great group of seniors (and maybe a junior or two) getting ready to play their last game in Kinnick on Friday night. After an up and down 2024 season that saw a resurgent offense and a frustratingly inconsistent defense, Brian and Zach look ahead to one final regular season game, as they break down the Black Friday matchup with the (bowl bound) Nebraska Cornhuskers.

After witnessing some (former) Wildcat on Wildcat violence on Saturday, we are now looking at a new QB1 in Iowa City this week Brendan Sullivan came on in relief of an injured Cade McNamara to lead Iowa to 35 points in just over 15 minutes. Though we never want to see an injury, McNamara's concussion midway through the second quarter gave the Iowa fans what they have been clamoring for all season - an extended look at former Northwestern starting QB, Brendan Sullivan, who, after some early three and outs, seemed to transform Iowa's offense into an unstoppable juggernaut. Well, before everyone gets ahead of ourselves, join Brian and Zach with a look back at what changed with #1 at QB1 against Northwestern in what turned out to be another "fun" Iowa football game, en route to a third 40-point performance from a maddingly inconsistent Iowa football team. While the competition ramps up again when the Wiscon Ric Flairs Badgers come to town, the Hawkeye 4DT guys find some reasons for optimism and renewed interest in a season that won't meet expectations, but could be a glimpse into the future evolution of the Hawkeyes' new look offense.

The guys try to work through what they saw - finding significant positives in the day of Kaleb Johnson, but also looking in a lot of other directions for some less positive performances, including quarterback, offensive coordinator, and the defensive backfield. With the Troy Trojans coming to town, Iowa has one more non-conference tune-up before the B1G season gets going - download and listen to see what Brian and Zach will be looking for this week and what they believe that could mean for the rest of the season.

Hawkeye 4DT – Iowa State Preview 2024

Hawkeye 4DT – Iowa State Preview 2024
With the standard caveat - “it was just an FCS team” - that Illinois State game was a lot of fun! In what seems like forever, Iowa was efficient and effective on offense, scoring 5 offensive TDS, with 3 TD catches by WRs (matching the WR total from 2023 and exceeding the total from 2022, all in one game) and racking up close to 500 total. yards. As the Hawkeye 4DT guys break down in this week’s podcast, that offensive output was, at least for one week, quite entertaining. Of course, it was game one against an overmatched opponent, so it doesn’t mean there were not areas for concern, including a slow start that saw a penalty-riddled first half only result in 6 points for your Iowa Hawkeyes, before we saw some of those early green chutes come alive in the second half. After looking back at the week 1 results, both for the Hawks and around the B1G, Zach and Brian turn their attention to Iowa State (or, as Brian is fond of saying, “Hate Week”). We all know this in-state rivalry game is always a close affair - what will the 2024 tilt bring for Hawkeyes fans? Download and listen to see what the guys expect to see in the Hawkeyes’ first rivalry (and trophy) game of the year!

Another week closer to kicking off the 2024 campaign for your Iowa Hawkeyes! Before the Hawkeye 4DT guys move into game-week mode with their initial 4DT breakdown of the season, they first have some final pre-season housekeeping to do with their final phase preview with the special teams. Are we getting to "In Levar We Trust" territory with the special teams? But before getting into the breakdown of the special teams unit, join Brian and Zach for a discussion of some significant breaking news with Kirk Ferentz's (and Jon Budmayr's) one-game suspension for recruiting violations (which the guys didn't even know was a thing in this day and age). Finally, stick around for the much-coveted 4DT pre-season awards as the guys make their picks for some stand out Hawks in 2024.
