Which Big Ten Powerhouses Are Poised to Crash the College Football Playoff Once More?
12. Iowa
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 7th
One scary thing: Running back Kaleb Johnson carried this team last year, putting up after-contact numbers that hid a down year for the Iowa offensive line. He’s gone now, and the Hawkeyes will need to get back to a more typical standard of excellence in front of new rusher Kamari Moulton.
One exciting thing: Iowa’s offense wasn’t good last year under new coordinator Tim Lester, but it was much less pitiful than it had been under Brian Ferentz. Iowa even had a 7.9% explosive play rate, almost exactly in line with the Big Ten average. And No. 1 receiver Jacob Gill is back.
