Hawkeye 4DT - B1G Championship RAW

We always knew we would put out a new Hawkeye 4DT episode with our reaction to the Nebraska game, but what we didn't know heading into Black Friday was (1) we would be talking about another double digit comeback sparked by a timely special teams play, (2) Michigan would turn The Game into a laugher, and (3) PJ and the Gophers would row Iowa right into Indy. After an entertaining weekend of B1G football, Brian and Zach got together to talk about your (outright) B1G West Division Champions and another trip to the B1G Championship Game to face another team from Michigan - this time against the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines. While not always pretty, the guys talk about how this team could be remembered in the pantheon of KF Iowa teams if they are able to pull off another upset of a Top 5 B1G opponent in prime time. See you all in Indy!

Hawkeye 4DT - 2021 B1G Championship

Despite the roller-coaster ride this season, after another ugly B1G West game, your 2021 Hawks sit at 9-2 with a chance for a 10- win regular season. With that backdrop, Zach and Brian try to put the season in context before providing their final regular season 4DT breakdown for 2021. The guys also intended to provide their Nebraska preview, but some breaking news mid-recording forced the guys to re-calibrate their game predictions on the fly. Check out this week's episode to learn whether the Hawkeye 4DT guys expect to see the Hawks leave Lincoln (again) with the Heroes Trophy.

Hawkeye 4DT – Nebraska (2021)

You would not know it looking at the stat sheet, but we once again are here to talk about an Iowa win (or, as Phil Fleck might call it - 1 and 0 in the Minnesota season). Brian and Zach look back at a game that was won on the back of Iowa's revamped offense, featuring players who started the season a bit further down the depth chart - including QB1 Alex Padilla and WRs Keagan Johnson and Chucky Jones. The guys also spend a fair amount of time analyzing the baffling coaching decision regarding our final offensive drive, which started at Minnesota's 3 yard line with a little more than 2 minutes left in the game - not much disagreement between Zach and Brian, but plenty of disagreement with the coaches' approach to that one.

Hawkeye 4DT – Illinois (2021)

 What a difference a "W" and a QB change makes for the psyche of the fan base. What would typically be a boring podcast about a nondescript 17-12 Iowa win on the road at lowly Northwestern turned into a fun debate over what we saw, what that means for Saturday against Minnesota, and the future of Iowa at the QB position. Don't get it wrong, the Hawkeye 4DT guys still had plenty of frustration with "only" a 5 point win over the worst defense in the B1G and we are under no delusions that the offense is fixed.  BUT, Zach and Brian agreed that things, at least for one Saturday, looked a little different.  Time will tell if that was a one-week blip or a new chapter for the Iowa Hawkeyes.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and all of your favorite podcast services.

Hawkeye 4DT – Minnesota (2021)

Another week and another very disappointing result for your Iowa Hawkeyes. As you would expect, some concerns and negativity to wade through in all four downs during this week’s episode of the Hawkeye 4DT podcast. But the guys still take some time to look ahead to the Northwestern game. Is the third time the charm for Iowa in its quest to get a first win in the B1G West? Download and listen to see what Brian and Zach expect to see this week against Pat Fitzgerald and the worst rushing defense in the B1G.

Hawkeye 4DT – Northwestern (2021)

   Usually, college football teams and fans say “the bye week came at the perfect time…”  But, at least for the Hawkeye 4DT guys, that was not the case this season, as this bye week only gave the guys more time to think back on the disappointment from the Purdue game. But, in this week’s episode, the guys try to shake off the Purdue hangover and bounce back, as they hope the Hawks do on Saturday against the ever-tough Wisconsin Badgers. Because Zach and Brian didn’t have a recent game to break down, in this week’s episode they focused on more bigger picture topics than normal. Word of warning, though - skip third down if you don’t want to hear a depressing historically comparable season for the 2021 offense. Luckily, with two elite defenses on display this Saturday, we should be looking at a game where the “under” is a best bet, as both Brian and Zach predict that the first team to 10 will win in this year’s battle for the Heartland Trophy.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and all of your favorite podcast services.

Hawkeye 4DT – Wisconsin (2021)

You win some and you lose some, but it is never fun to lose in the fashion that your Hawkeyes lost to Purdue on Saturday in a disappointing 24-7 game, which was not even as close as the score suggests. In this week's episode, Brian and Zach skip the typical 4DT breakdown in favor of an extended therapy session as they work through their reactions to the game (good news, Brian felt better after this, even if not 100% optimistic for the rest of the season). Given it is bye week, the guys also handed out some mid-season awards. Enjoy your Saturday off and look forward to next week when the 4DT breakdown returns for the preview of the important B1G West battle with Wisconsin.

Hawkeye 4DT - Bye Week (2021)

Three days later and the Hawkeye 4DT crew is still not sure how to react to one of the biggest wins and amazing comebacks in the Ferentz era. Zach and Brian discuss the many highs and lows of a huge Saturday in Iowa City, as 4DT was on hand to take in all the festivities. Fitting this game into our normal "four downs" proved to be difficult because of the up and down nature of the game, but given the final comeback result, there is a lot more positivity than negativity as the Hawks move to 6-0 and ascend to #2 in the national rankings. The guys look at the special teams, which continue to be special, a suffocating defense and, of course, discuss "that play" and try to project how we will feel about it in the future. Finally, even with all that excitement, there was still some discussion of the upcoming game against Purdue, which has been a thorn in Iowa's side over the past several years You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and all of your favorite podcast services.

Hawkeye 4DT – PSU Reaction - Purdue Preview 2021

It is always nice when a plan comes together. This week, Iowa's Friday night plan certainly came together as your Iowa Hawkeyes came away with a dominating 51-14 win over the latest trendy team with a hyped QB on Iowa's schedule. In this week's episode, Zach and Brian look back at that game and discuss several areas where Iowa is ahead of the game going into the big game against PSU. You'll also hear the guys discuss why this Saturday's game may be the biggest since 1985 - it is certainly in the running with a few others, such as the 2004 Wisconsin game and the 2015 B1G Championship. That is not to say there are not some continued areas of concern this week, which Zach and Brian break down on third down this week, but needless to say, much more positives than concerns with the #3 ranked, 5-0 Iowa Hawkeyes!
