Iowa football gets better throughout the year. If we had 3 warmup games against UNI, Miami OH and Iowa State we would’ve finished 12-0 but it doesn’t matter. 7-2 is the goal! https://t.co/r1Wo5Ebuyn

There are literally not enough words to describe how unbelievable the guys in our locker room are. To battle through everything the last 8 months & to start 0-2 and come together and rebound for 6 straight…these guys are incredible! Very fortunate to be part of this team! 🐤🐤

From 0-2, to six in a row. I was (wrongly) concerned that Kirk could lose the locker room after that 0-2 start on the heels of the offseason that Iowa went through. The opposite happened; they grew closer together. Hats off to all involved.

That’s 6 straight Big Ten wins for the Hawkeyes. Just the 2nd time Iowa has done that in a season since 2005.
Sure would’ve been nice if they could’ve played Ohio State to see who the best team in the Big Ten actually is.

No Big Ten team has more wins than YOUR Iowa Hawkeyes

Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation. #Hawkeyes pic.twitter.com/JRewTp2VUu

No disrespect to Northwestern, who won the division and beat Iowa, but Iowa’s probably the best team in the B1G West this year.
