We FINALLY bring you our Hawkeye 4DT 2019 Defensive Preview. BUT, before we get into all of that, our delay is your gain as Brian was in Kinnick Stadium for Kids' Day, so we were able to get his reactions to what he saw on the field - both positive and negative. As for the Defensive Preview, no hiding the ball - we are very excited to see what the 2019 edition of the Iowa defense looks like. Led by AJE, that side of the ball boasts playmakers at several positions - tune in to see who we expect to shine and where we are still just a bit nervous as we continue to head toward August 31.

The countdown to kickoff continues as we bring you the first of our three preseason preview episodes – this week, we take a look at the offense and provide our breakdown by position group and answer some burning questions: Who will be QB2? what does the RB hierarchy look like? who should we expect to step up at WR and TE? and who are the biggest and ugliest along the OL? Along with that, you get to hear some of Brian’s and Zach’s hottest of hot takes regarding the 2019 Iowa offense.

Only SEVEN more Saturdays until your Iowa Hawkeyes kick off the 2019 football season and August 31 can’t get here fast enough. In this episode, Brian and Zach discuss the highlights from the offseason to clear the way for 4DT’s annual offensive, defensive, and special teams previews in August – including thoughts on the Oliver Martin (and other WR) transfers, #Swarm20, and a quick look ahead to the 2019 schedule.

After a looooong layoff, Brian and Zach are back this week to offer up some thoughts on the state of your Iowa Hawkeyes as spring football officially closes. On this episode, we react (and probably overreact) to some spring coach speak, including the “cash” position and other potential new looks on defense and the buzz around a pair of Freshmen WR. For probably the final time, we heap accolades on the best TE tandem in Iowa history. We then examine Iowa's results in the NFL draft and ponder how that might lead to future success for Iowa. Finally, we take a look at the always reliable spring two deeps (read: written in very light pencil) and offer up a "wish list" for what we want to see on the official Week 1 depth chart. As always, the spring leaves us with the hope and optimism of what could be coming, but leaves us with just one burning question - is it August 31 yet?

After taking several weeks off Brian and Zach are back to look at the Top 5 storylines from Iowa's 2018 football season and hand out some post-season awards (and check back on how we did with our pre-season awards). With MSU on the horizon (Bulldogs, not Spartans), we take one final opportunity for the 2018 season to provide our prediction for a game that experts believe will be a quite low scoring game.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.

The 2018 Redemption Tour did not go as expected with your Iowa Hawkeyes going 0-4 against opponents to whom they lost in 2017. For a third straight week, the Hawkeye4DT podcast struggles with a disappointing loss - this one more perplexing than the prior two. Brian and Zach discuss the 2018 Iowa identity, the baffling usage of Noah Fant and essentially skip right over the positivity that second down usually brings in favor of an extended look at where things went wrong against Northwestern.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.

When you are Iowa and you put up 36 points and zero (meaningful) turnovers, you expect to win a football game. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case this week. Brian and Zach look back at another disappointing loss and try to find ways to keep the faith this week. While the B1G West is off the table, a chance to steady the ship and get some late-season momentum is still out there in 2018.

In this week’s episode of the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast, Zach and Brian take a deep dive into Iowa’s disappointing loss to the Nittany Lions. In addition to breaking down the reasons for the loss, the guys also spend some time looking at what this game means for the rest of 2018 (and beyond).  On the more positive side, Zach and Brian also examine the goals that are still achievable for this Hawkeye team and how they can get there. The formula is simple - just gotta keep winning!! You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.

After a dominating performance against Maryland, the likes of which we have not seen in the Ferentz era, all eyes are focused on this week’s trip to Happy Valley where the Hawkeyes, and the Hawkeye4DT Podcast, have revenge on their mind.  Brian and Zach first take a look back over the first seven games and identify their mid-season offensive and defensive MVPs.   Brian and Zach also break down just how dominating the Hawkeyes’ performance against Maryland were before switching gears and analyzing the upcoming tilt on the road against the Nittany Lions.  The PSU game kicks off a critical three-game stretch as Iowa looks to continue and build on what has the makings of a special season in Iowa City if the Hawks can manage to take out the next three opponents, all of whom bested your Iowa Hawkeyes in 2017.  Spoiler alert – the Hawkeye4DT Podcast likes the Hawks’ chances this week!!  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast servic

Iowa football is...fun? A debate of who is the best tight end of the Ferentz era? This week's episode definitely reflects our good mood after back-to-back 40+ point games with over 400 yards of offense coupled with a defense that ranks in the top 10 in the country. We also take a look at the upcoming Maryland match-up this week and peek ahead to an important game at PSU next week. Buckle up, Hawk fans, if the offense continues to be this productive and dynamic, this could be a fun year!  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.

On the road again! Brian and Zach look at the successful B1G road opener against the Gophers and look ahead to the Hawks' second consecutive road game  - this time against basketball powerhouse, the Indiana Hoosiers. A lot to like from the Minnesota game, but will the newfound offensive juggernaut continue on? Or will injuries finally catch up with the defense?

After taking a week to cope with the heartbreaking loss to the Badgers, Brian and Zach return this week to take a more measured review of the Wisconsin game and look ahead to this week's game again the Gophers. Good news, Hawkeye fans, despite the disappointment, a good season is still very possible - we expect to know more after Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.

While we don't typically want to declare a game "must win" in September, this week's tilt against the Wisconsin Badgers is a "must win" for your Iowa Hawkeyes. Brian and Zach not only discuss the importance of the game this week but also look back at the UNI game, including to examine the offensive outburst and whether that effort is what we should expect to see going forward or if it was an FCS opponent mirage. You will not want to miss this Hawkeye4DT episode as we prepare for what we expect to be the de facto B1G West Championship Game.

After a fourth straight Cy-Hawk victory and a second straight home game against the Clones that saw your Hawkeyes give up a mere field goal, Brian and Zach are more than happy to heap praise on the defensive side of the ball; the offense is going to have to pick it up against FCS Northern Iowa this week to get itself back into the “second down” discussion.  The disappointing beginning to the season has the offense firmly in “third down” territory currently. And with the Hawkeyes heading into their final non-conference game, Brian and Zach can’t help but look ahead to the first B1G game of the year with Wisconsin looming. The good news for Hawk fans is that the tilt with the Badgers will be under the lights at Kinnick Stadium – maybe just in time for some Kinnick magic.

Your 2018 Hawks are 1-0 with the Iowa State Cyclones the only thing standing between them and a 2-0 start. This week, Brian and Zach look back at Iowa's 33-7 win over the NIU Huskies and examine what went well, including good efforts from both the offensive and defensive lines, what didn't go as well (we are looking at you, passing game), and where they believe games may be won and lost this season. Brian and Zach also take a look at the Cyclones, who will be playing their first game of the 2018 season due to some inclement weather in Ames - guess the coaching staff will have to dust off some 2017 tape to see a pretty good Iowa State team that took Iowa to overtime and beat Oklahoma and TCU. Always a tough game for #hateweek.  You can download and subscribe to the Hawkeye 4DT Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts and all of your favorite podcast services.
