In a very familiar time slot on Tuesday afternoon, Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz held his first official press conference before the 2025-2026 season begins on Saturday against Albany.
Ferentz is heading into his 27th year as head coach and believes this group of guys is ready to excel this season.
Excluding Reece Vander Zee (foot injury), the Hawkeyes are heading into game one healthy and are ready to start the season strong.
Ferentz discussed multiple topics with the media on Tuesday, but three topics stuck out from the rest.
