Iowa has the worst offense in the Big Ten if not all BCS conferences, no kicking game, and they lose both starting defensive ends, their best two linebackers, and their best (only) coverage cornerback. I don't know how the author thinks they can win 2 out of 3 games against teams that beat them last year, especially when they were completely overmatched against Purdue & Penn State. I expect Iowa to win between 4 and 6 games in 2008.
I dunno, maybe because the author things *gasp* that this year
could be different than last year? I mean, I know it's a revolutionary concept - teams improving - but that just could be what he's anticipating.
