Iowa's Hype Video Is The Gold Standard

Iowa's Hype Video Is The Gold Standard
We're close enough to smell the food from the tailgate. Football season officially begins in just four days. 

Of course, much like Christmas, spring break, and the last day of school, the days seem to also grow longer as kickoff creeps nearer. We can't do much about that, but we can ensure that the next few minutes are awesome, thanks to this Iowa hype video.



Iowa has more than its fair share of question marks -- particularly on offense -- what with a new offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and quarterback, not to mention the unknown health of wide receiver Matt VandeBerg. But this hype video is among the best we've ever seen, so who's to say the Hawkeyes won't power their way to double-digit wins and a Big Ten title? Not us. Not now.

Iowa may be breaking in a new signal-caller, but all five starters return along with what was already one of the better offensive lines in college football. Running behind them, 1,000-yard back Akrum Wadley is again in the fold after posting 6.4 yards per carry as a junior.

The Hawkeyes also appear to be locked and loaded at linebacker and defensive end, where every starter returns -- including All-Big Ten second-team linebacker Josey Jewell. Iowa's team strength at rushing the passer is a plus, considering the secondary is working to replace 2015 Jim Thorpe Award winner Desmond King.

Anyway, who cares? If former Iowa star and current Green Bay Packer defensive end Mike Daniels is narrating, the Hawkeyes are winning.
