Hawkeye 4DT – Washington Preview 2026
While we all expected that a loss was possible (probable?) against the Ohio State University, the Hawkeye 4DT guy dig into what we saw on Saturday and why the Hawks ultimately fell to 4-1 at the hands of the Buckeyes. Earlier weeks saw the guys struggle to come up with appropriate third down…

Hawkeye 4DT - Northern Illinois Preview (2026)
We are finally are at game week #1! But before the guys could talk about the upcoming tilt against the Mountain West's Northern Illinois Huskies, there were some final preseason topics to address, including Monday's two-deep, the guys' W – L season prediction, and the ever-coveted Hawkeye 4DT...

Hawkeye 4DT – Nebraska Preview 2025
Although it was against B1G-winless MSU, it sure felt good to be on the right side of a late game comeback win as Iowa comes out on top 20-17 against Sparty on Senior Day in Iowa City. The Hawkeye 4DT guys have plenty to discuss coming out of Saturday's game, but it's better to be talking about…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Michigan State Preview 2025
The script is starting to look familiar as your Iowa Hawkeyes once again come up just short against another top 20 opponent.

-
Hawkeye 4DT – USC Preview 2025
Not much to say other than heartbreak this week as Iowa comes up just short against Oregon, who ripped our hearts out and crushed our CFP dreams with a last second field goal to escape Iowa City with an 18-16 win. The Hawkeye 4DT guys break out the therapy couches for this one as they look back…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Oregon Preview 2025
That Minnesota win was so good that the Hawkeye 4DT guys decided to take their own bye week. Have no fear, this week's episode jumps in the way back time machine (you know, like, 10 days ago) to recap Iowa's 41-3 domination of the Golden Gophers before turning full attention to this week's…

Hawkeye 4DT – Bye Week #1 2025
While it wouldn't have taken a perfect effort from your Iowa Hawkeyes, they did just enough to lose a winnable game against the #11 Indiana Hoosiers, 20-15 (sorry folks who had Indiana -6.5). On this first bye week of the season, the Hawkeye 4DT guys take some time to just look back on a...
-

Hawkeye 4DT – ISU Preview 2025

more -
Hawkeye 4DT - 2025 Offensive Preview
It is time! Hawkeye 4DT preseason kickoff time that is! As the calendar turns to August, Brian and Zach dust off the podcasting equipment for the start of year 10! Ferentz and Co. decided to make it harder on the guys this year by not releasing the annual summer two-deeps, so the guys go off the...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Nebraska Preview 2024
We wait all year for the next football season, and, just like that, 11 game weeks are past and we are on to the final football Satur . . . er, Friday of the season. Before wrapping up with the final Hawkeye 4DT breakdown of the season, Brian and Zach look back on a 29-13 road win against…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Maryland Preview 2024
After the great lost Wisconsin recap episode and a bye week following another disappointing road loss, the Hawkeye 4DT guys are finally back! Unfortunately, not as much positivity on the heels of a 20-17 loss in the Rose Bowl to B1G newcomer, UCLA. But that's not to say there is nothing to talk...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Wisconsin Preview 2024
After witnessing some (former) Wildcat on Wildcat violence on Saturday, we are now looking at a new QB1 in Iowa City this week Brendan Sullivan came on in relief of an injured Cade McNamara to lead Iowa to 35 points in just over 15 minutes. Though we never want to see an injury, McNamara's...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Northwestern Preview 2024
Well . . . that wasn't good. After what felt like a corner-turning win against Washington and an another opportunity to add to the Hawkeyes' season win total, the big goals of the season were severely derailed with a surprising defeat in East Lansing against a dominant Michigan State team. The...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Michigan State Preview 2024
So, that's what it feels like to have fun watching college football?!? This week, the 4DT guys return to discuss a full team, all three phases, four quarter, rude welcoming of new B1G-member, the Washington Huskies. With 40 points scored by the offense, plenty of positives to talk about…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Washington Preview 2024
Even though it was the result we expected, it doesn't mean it's a result we liked. This week, the Hawkeye 4DT guys relive another lackluster performance against one of college football's blue bloods - this time at the hands of the Buckeyes of the Ohio State. While it's tough to take too much from…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Ohio State Preview 2024
Now that the bye week is behind us, the Hawkeye 4DT guys get to focus on the #3 Buckeyes in Columbus on Saturday.

-
Hawkeye 4DT – Bye Week 2024
Floyd is home again and Iowa fans get to enjoy a joyous bye week!!

This week, Brian and Zach take the...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Minnesota Preview 2024
After getting back in the win column, some might say we still don't know a lot about the 2024 Iowa Hawkeyes with more questions than answers so far this season. Is the rushing offense for real? What is with all the big plays against us? Is Kaleb Johnson a Heisman candidate? Can CDJ and Tory…
more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Troy Preview 2024
Tough to say where it all went wrong, but enough went wrong that, after a 13-0 halftime lead, your Hawkeyes ultimately fall to Iowa State, 20-19, on a last second 54 yard field goal. The guys try to work through what they saw - finding significant positives in the day of Kaleb Johnson, but also...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Iowa State Preview 2024
With the standard caveat - "it was just an FCS team" - that Illinois State game was a lot of fun! In what seems like forever, Iowa was efficient and effective on offense, scoring 5 offensive TDS, with 3 TD catches by WRs (matching the WR total from 2023 and exceeding the total from 2022, all in…

-
Hawkeye 4DT – Defensive Preview (2024)
While last week was all about change, this week is all about consistency as the guys preview the defensive side of the ball. The Hawks have won 10 games in a season a couple times recently, and we know that much of the credit goes to Broyles Award winner, Phil Parker, and his stalwart defensive...

Hawkeye 4DT – Nebraska (2023)

more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Illinois (2023)

more -
Hawkeye 4DT – Rutgers (2023)
Somehow, some way, your 2023 Iowa Hawkeyes just keep on winning - after another lackluster offensive performance, the Hawks nonetheless stood tall after a 53-yard, three-run shot into the basket in right centerfield by Drew Stevens, once again cementing the team's status as the B1G West leader,...
-
Hawkeye 4DT - Northwestern (2023)
Another week, another "off schedule" episode as the guys dive deep this week into the news that Brian Ferentz will not return in 2024. Brian and Zach share their reactions, along with their view on what it means for the rest of the 2023 season and beyond, including what led to the announcement,...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Bye Week (2023)
Buckle up, Hawkeye fans, this one is not for the faint of heart. While there is typically no Hawkeye 4DT during the bye week, the events of Saturday's controversial battle for Floyd of Rosedale were enough to bring Brian and Zach together for this special bye week episode. After a lengthy...
-
Hawkeye 4DT – Minnesota (2023)
While the 24th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes are never the prettiest car on the lot, they once again prove the doubters (including your favorite Hawkeye 4DT commentators) wrong with a 15-6 win on the road in windy and rainy Madison (helping at least one of those 4DT commentators cash in on the money-line…

Hawkeye 4DT – Purdue Preview (2023)
Welcome to the Deacon Hill era at Iowa! In this week's episode, the Hawkeye 4DT guys get into the good (Iowa won), the bad (the offense, still), and the ugly (QB1's likely season ending injury). We went into the game against Sparty knowing that we wouldn't be able to make any final conclusions...
