Eickholt & Kluver | Iowa State Press Review

We open the Power Hour discussing and breaking down Iowa’s Week 1 win in extreme heat at Kinnick. We evaluate what was real progress versus a weak opponent, praising Kamari Moulton’s burst and confidence boost, Tony Diaz’s talent and target volume, and major offensive line play—especially Cael Winter at center—while noting drops and goal-line issues. The biggest debate is the quarterback battle between Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski, with Brown getting a slight edge but context matters, including scripted plays, drops, and turnover-worthy throws. They highlight a fast Iowa defense, Phil Parker’s 3-3-5 wrinkle, and standout performances (Bryce Hawthorne, Cam Buffington, Julian Manson). They also criticize using Reese Vander Zee as punt returner, then preview Iowa State, predicting Iowa by multiple scores. If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!
