Episode Details

Iowa’s 2026 football season kicks off with big preseason hype as three Hawkeyes earn All-America nods: junior guard Kade Pieper (1st team, moving to center), junior tackle Trevor Lauck (2nd team), and defensive back Zach Lutmer (4th team). Pieper anchored the 2025 offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award, Lauck started all 13 games at left tackle, and Lutmer led the defense with 71 tackles, 10 passes defended, 7 breakups, 3 picks, and a TD. The team opens Sept. 5 vs. Northern Illinois at 3:15 PM CT on the Big Ten Network — can they deliver on the promise?
