Following a disappointing 8-5 season last year, the Iowa football team opens 2025 with a home matchup against FCS foe Albany. The Great Danes struggled to a 4-8 mark in 2024 and will now feature an interim head coach in Jared Ambrose after longtime head coach Greg Gattuso’s sudden February departure. Second-year running back JoJo Uga is the name to watch for Albany after he collected 422 yards as a freshman.
