## Resource

Iowa’s quarterback race between Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown is heating up, with both QBs vying for the starting role as the Hawkeyes face a brutal Tier Seven ranking — 103rd out of 136 FBS teams — despite having one of the best offensive lines and a loaded running back corps. While Hecklinski holds the edge for 2026, Brown’s spring breakout has tightened the race. The real test? Can Iowa win through the air? Their recent success — eight wins last year, ten the year before — suggests they might be quarterback-proof, thanks to a dominant defense and run game. The answer could redefine what it means to win in Iowa. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
