2019 record: 10-3, 6-3 Big Ten
Returning starters: six offense, five defense, one special teams
The Hawkeyes have won 47 games over the past five seasons, which is the best five-year mark in program history. They won 10 games in 2019, despite not getting much from their offense at times. QB Petras who attempted 10 passes in three games last season, is the heir apparent to replace Stanley, a three-year starter. Three starting offensive linemen are coming back. The top seven pass-catchers and top two rushers are expected to return as well. The Hawkeyes will miss Epenesa's pass-rushing skills, as well as leading tackler Welch. Iowa's 2020 schedule is daunting with road games at Minnesota, Ohio State and Penn State.
