They started the least experienced, most unproven, quarterback in the Big Ten and were very questionable at wide receiver. On defense, Iowa had question marks at defensive tackle after losing two good ones to the pros and were unproven in the secondary after losing Desmond King and (apparently) Brandon Snyder.
