We have just 5 more Saturday’s until Iowa football returns for the 2019 season and Kirk Ferentz will try to improve off a solid 9-4 season that concluded with an Outback Bowl victory.

A poll was recently released indicating that Nebraska is the heavy favorite to win the Big Ten West this season. And for good reason. Scott Frost will be in year two as the head coach of the Huskers, Adrian Martinez has his first season as quarterback out of the way, and their schedule looks incredibly easy on paper.
