Utah State @ Iowa
Matt McGowan, Pregame Editor (0-0): Iowa – I’m way more scared of Jack Rabbits than Aggies.
Kenna Roering, Sports Editor (0-0): Iowa – Iowa’s defense is too good to lose this game, no matter how the offense plays.
Colin Votzmeyer, Assistant Sports Editor (0-0): Iowa – As long as they don’t run the ball on third and long.
Cooper Worth, Football Reporter (0-0): Iowa – The Hawkeyes have much to prove this season, and I think the tone will be set this game. Hopefully for the best.

John Bohenkamp, Sports Writing Coach (0-0): Iowa – It will be a better offense this season. Trust me.
Jason Brummond, Publisher (0-0): Iowa – Iowa is a lock to win and score more than 25 points. Some might even bet on it.

Colorado @ TCU
