Iowa football: 5 things to watch in 2016

The Iowa Hawkeyes went 12-0 and won the Big Ten West in 2015. This season, Kirk Ferentz’s team certainly has the tools to make an impact in 2016 so it will be interesting to see what they accomplish.

Let’s take a look at five things to watch for Iowa in the 2016 college football season.
