Troy vs Iowa: A Must-Watch Showdown

The Iowa Hawkeyes had their 2024 season pushed off course in week two as they failed to shut the door on in-state rival Iowa State. The offense fizzled twice in the RedZone in the first half and failed to do anything meaningful in the second half outside of another brilliant game from Kaleb Johnson. The result was a return to 2023 Iowa where all the pressure fell on Phil Parker’s defense.

The Road Ahead for Iowa

In week two of the new season, we saw that group do something they’ve rarely done over the last decade: they cracked. The Hawkeyes gave up 20 second-half points and multiple chunk plays en route to their first loss of the season. Now the fanbase waits to learn if the loss will define this group as another in a long line that struggles to find full-season success after losing to the Cyclones, or if this can be a pivot point for a team determined to do more.

Troy Trojans: A Challenge Ahead

Iowa looks to bounce back from that week two loss with a get-right game against last year’s Sun Belt champion Troy Trojans. Troy finished 2023 with an 11-3 record, showcasing one of the nation’s best defenses. But 2024 is a new year, and first-year head coach Gerad Parker is still seeking his first career win after starting 0-2 on the young season.

The Trojans enter the day giving up more than 200 yards per game on the ground and in search of an identity. They lost 9 of their 10 leading tacklers from a season ago and have new faces all over the offense. This is a game the Hawkeyes should be able to dominate from start to finish. If this is truly a bounce back as part of a successful season, it could just as easily be the next shoe to drop in a disappointing season.
