Everyone is still with the program there will be players that transfer but the key to Iowa Football has always been getting in players and developing them. When we have lots of juniors and seniors we usually have a good football team this year we have relied on younger players and of the seniors that are playing a number of them are getting their 1st action this season. This is the reason that Iowa is having a down year this season we have lost too many players in the 2008 and 2009 Recruiting class. The last 3 Recruiting classes have been good and the players in them are making contributions to the team this season. This is not the time to fire Ferents it is a rebuilding year. This team will be much improved next season as the defense returns almost everybody but Hyde, Gaglione, and Bigach, Castillo. Other than these 4 players everybody will be back and one year older. Also our quarterback who will be new will have a better understanding of Greg Davis's scheme due to the fact of having 2 years in the offense. I think this made a big difference for the offensive players this season.
We still have 2 games left this season @ Michigan and VS Nebraska, We need to win both to make a bowl game which will definitely be a challenge. All I know is I still believe in Ferentz and his staff, the Hawkeyes will be back you can count on it. This is a bit of a read so if you have questions leave it in the comments below the blog As always GO HAWKS.
