Summary
Iowa’s defense is poised for a breakout year under Phil Parker, with explosive turnover potential, a revamped secondary, and a top-15 defense on the horizon. Expect at least 15 interceptions fueled by new talent like Zach Lutmer and seasoned transfers, while their elite run-stopping streak faces stiff tests. Sack production may dip slightly, but stars like Merrieweather, Epenesa, and Brown are projected to deliver 15+ sacks, keeping pressure on quarterbacks despite depth questions. The Hawkeyes aim for 24-26 sacks — a solid, timely strike force. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
