Tyler and Collin are back after a short hiatus to discuss the miss for Iowa as Beau Pribula chooses Missouri. This is a prime example of Iowa needing to change the narrative on the offensive side of the ball and Lester having his work cut out to change that. We then get into the commit the Hawks got last week when Auburn QB Hank Brown transferred to Iowa. How does he impact the QB room and who will be QB1 in 2025. We end the show talking more about some portal guys that Iowa is going after and our reaction to round 1 of the College Football Playoffs.

(Post-Show Edit: Jonas Pace (DT-Central Mich) has committed to the Hawks - he was still in decision mode when we recorded this episode)
