I thank God I was born on the good arms of the Midwest, and not on the battlefields of the U.S. It's a time of panic, and it's intercepted! It's picked off right away! Intercepted by Marty Hooker! Pick six! Eight seconds into the game! Buffen sets up deep in the pocket, goes down the field for Smith!

Oh! He's got it! Smith! Touchdown. 85 yards. High on. Touchdown, 10. Taking a shot in the end zone.

It is caught. No offense. Touchdown. That's either one or you have it. Go ahead and three. Yes. Two-point lead for the Hawkeyes. Welcome back, Hawkeye Nation, to another episode of the Locked On Hawkeyes podcast,

your daily Iowa Hawkeyes podcast on the Locked On Sports Network. As always, I am one of your co-hosts, Andrew Wade, and I'm joined here by Zach Cohen. Zach, how are you doing today, man? Good, good, good. It's a good week. Feels good. 3-0, beat the in-state rivalry. Love checking on social media. Iowa State fans are still salty, but it's going good. We have a down week this week, but after the anxiety attack that I got Saturday, I'm kind of excited we have a bye week. Yeah, man. It's nice to be able to go into Saturday and watch football and just enjoy college football because it's so stressful. I actually felt hung over on Sunday. I mean, I drank a couple of beers, but I felt, I felt hung over Sunday. Um, they talked about on the washed up walk-ons as well.

Um, if you haven't checked out that podcast, make sure you do that as well as a great podcast, kind of doing a different flavor of what we do, something that's kind of different, you know, different realm, but they talked about it as well. Just a kind of a stress hangover from the game. And I definitely had that Sunday as well. Just kind of a stress hangover from the game. And I definitely had that Sunday as well, which is why I wasn't able to bring as much energy, but dude, it's glad to be back. I'm glad that we don't have Iowa football this weekend.

We can kind of take a quick break, watch other college ball games, get a sense for what the college ball landscape looks like, and then regroup and get back in action next week in the middle Tennessee state. No. Yeah. I completely agree. The anxiety hangover is something that's possible. And also for the fans out there,

take a listen to a washed on walk-ons or walk washed up walk-ons because there may be a collab out there between us and them. You never know. I'm not saying it's for sure, but just keep an eye out there. Zach, just dropping hints left and right. I love it. It's not a hint. I'm just saying, I'm not saying I'm just saying, keep an eye out. I love it, man. Well, Hey, today's show we're, you know, with Iowa not playing any game this week, we're going to kind of do a little bit more casual show.

Something we're going to try to do on some of the bye weeks. And you're going to hear this later on in the season as well when there's another bye week coming up in the early part of November. We're basically just going to be going through a couple Iowa Hawkeye news and notes and then answering a few questions and talking about the AP Top 25, some of the games that we're looking forward to, that kind of stuff. As always, if you are tuning in for the first time and you like what you hear today, make sure to like, review, and subscribe wherever you downloaded this podcast at. Also, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. We're going to be giving away some great details on a fantastic Iowa Hawkeye memorabilia giveaway we're going to be doing for reaching 1,000 Twitter followers. Zach, do you want to kind of break down at least the details

about what fans can look forward to possibly winning from us? Yeah, so we're going to be doing a contest, kind of a retweet contest. We'll post something. He'll have some various kind of stipulations between it. It'll probably be some type of five-star rate us on Apple, retweet it and follow us. It's not into something that's not too, too crazy. It's pretty easy actually.

And then you'll be entered into when we'll have a drawing. We'll let it run for a couple of days just because we want to make sure everyone can see it. And then we will be raffling off some Jordan Canzeri autographs. Some things look forward to, I think we're going to be raffling off an Iowa hat and, like, an Iowa football. So we've got some cool things on the docket. Me and Andrew haven't nailed down the for sure items,

but we're going to do a football and maybe a hat or something else, maybe a picture from the Big Ten Championship or something. Who knows? So some exciting stuff to keep an eye out on, and just another reason to kind of engage with us on Twitter, which has been popping off recently to talk a little slang about that. It's been going well. And I think a lot of people, um, we're kind of growing a community and it's really nice to see the same people commenting and kind of getting in discussions on Twitter.

So it's really proud of that. And just as kind of a, something to say, thank you for all those, uh, followers out there. Absolutely, man there absolutely man i mean i i've loved the the engagement we're starting to get people are you know starting to retweet our stuff look at it i mean we um one thing we talked about pre-show is that tweet you posted about davante young man that is getting some love and getting some love from some iowa hawkeye football players which had me wondering what exactly is the policy on that, right? So is the policy that they just can't tweet stuff? Because there's definitely a lot of players that are liking the tweet about Devonta Young, and rightfully so.

What a great tweet. I thought it was really well-timed with how well he played at the end of the game, getting that key fumble recovery on that punt return snafu. But what are your thoughts on that? Do you know? Do you have any idea about – if anyone could drop some knowledge on this, I think that would be awesome. But we're getting some likes from some Iowa Hawkeye

football players I wasn't sure they were able to do yeah so uh not to expose anyone but we did we did get some uh likes um some pro guys we got a Giamatti Hooker and uh Greg Maven was uh liking and stuff but um I so I think the deal is you can't be on social media but you can't tweet about it and i i don't know the stipulation this would actually be a good question a lot to ask um like the washed on walk-up guys or walk washed on walk-on guys i can't speak wow washed up walk-ons you're just struggling with that one washed up walk-ons um it would be a good question to ask them um i i think that the i think the whole point is that they can't tweet something out or retweet stuff because retweeting is basically tweeting.

So I think that a lot of them – I guarantee you 100% of the team, so it goes on Twitter. They still want to – I guarantee you after that Iowa State game, they were Googling the Iowa game. They wanted to see what was going down. I guarantee you. And so I think the whole thing is you're not supposed to be tweeting out to kind of show that you're not supposed to be tweeting out to

kind of show as you're not focused but uh i favoriting i feel like is fair game i think a lot of guys still do that and i'm not going to be a narc or anything and we really appreciate the engagement from these hawkeye football players and it's just uh especially for the devante young thing that was an awesome story and i just wanted to uh andrew gave me the idea and i just wanted to show with our uh twitter followers so that was awesome yeah man i thought it was pretty cool um in some other news as well um some you know big 10 players of the week kind of came out keith duncan won special teams player of the week um a week after which i thought was kind of ironic iowa fans were so pissed off that the ruckers punter didn't get it keith duncan wins it this week uh dj johnson wins big 10 co-freshman

of the week as well um if you are just a casual fan or you at a bar and we're kind of getting drunk towards the later part of that game, you probably didn't realize just how well DJ Johnson played. And then finally, Jack Corner and Geno Stone graded out pretty highly according to Pro Football Focus and were named on the Pro Football Focus All Big Ten team of the week. Zach, any of those guys you want to spotlight real quick? So, I mean, I was just going to say, uh, corner did a really good job, um, coming into the game. Um, obviously didn't get a lot of starting time. Didn't get a lot of, um,

wasn't kind of in the lineup a lot. Um, who was kind of hidden back there in the depth chart. We obviously I was a lot of good cornerbacks, a lot of good DBs, a lot of good secondary. So him coming into the game and doing what he did with limited playing experience is actually really impressive. It's a huge game. I just think that there was so much opportunity for him to kind of craft a bad, not do well. I think, you know,

there was a big moment away college game day, the field sucked. There was a big delay. And I think there was, it would have been really easy for him to kind of go out there and, you know, give his best try. And, you know, if it didn't happen, like we couldn't really fault it for him because, you know, we didn't get a lot of playing time and experience but he went out there did his thing uh was awesome Gino Stone got it I love Gino Stone every week he's growing on me on that hit he had um was disgusting uh I just think that he's a great player I think he's kind of evolving into what uh Monty Hooker was um he's not there yet but I think that he's definitely of evolving into what Monty Hooker was. He's not there yet, but I

think that he's definitely taking the steps, and I'm definitely excited to see his growth. And then Keith Duncan, I mean, like I said before, four for four kicking in terrible weather conditions. Andrew said that he literally had to adjust his kicking game. The field was sloppy. He had to go out there and make adjustments before it resumed after the second weather delay. So, I mean, I, I think that's awesome. I think that, like I said, in an era where kicking in college is not so great anymore, everyone's missing things from left to right, but it's really, it's really assuring being able to have the team with a kicker that we can rely

on, especially in those low scoring games, like we usually play in where those kicks are huge in the moment absolutely man and just a couple quick notes on that jack corner is a former walk-on another great story kind of a jake gervais-esque in the sense of he was a walk-on coming into safety who knows where he's going to be in a couple years from dowling keith duncan is also leading the nation in field goals made he's tied with a few other players but right now he's eight for eight-8, has 32 points scored. If he keeps that pace up, he will actually break the Iowa Hawkeye kicking record a long ways to go for that, but I thought that was pretty cool.

We're going to come back, though, after a few messages from our sponsors and touch on a few questions that we got on our Twitter account.

All right, man, we are back with segment number two. Again, we talked about this earlier, but great interaction from our listeners on Twitter. We love it. We're shattering some records right now with our podcast listenership, so we really appreciate that and love all the support you've been giving us we wanted to kind of do a quick rundown of some of the

questions y'all sent in to us um and let's start with the pretty easy one man come and go i think that's the that's the big one that's on the docket here um there was some interesting shade thrown by come and go basically signifying that the hawkeyes were pissing on the Cyclones. And man, did it piss off some Iowa State fans. One guy cut up his come and go loyalty card, which is just mind boggling to me. But did you see this beef on Twitter? Yeah, so I saw the come and go tweet and I thought it was actually really funny. I thought that, you know, they actually, I've interacted with them before

and they're actually really funny. They can do social media pretty well for a uh for like basically a gas station yeah they're actually pretty damn funny um a lot of i mean if you looked at it a lot of it was iowa state fans they were just kind of salty about the whole thing which i mean i get it but like like lighting up like it's just a joke um i think the guy cutting up his uh come and go card was kind of like the equivalent in Iowa it's like burning the American flag I feel like that's like I hate crime in Iowa cutting up that come and go card um I just think that uh I think it's hilarious I mean I love that um you know it kind of Iowa beat Iowa State was a sloppy game uh everyone in the national

scale watched it oh it's a good game they moved on but just the hate that is still happening in Iowa the saltiness of the fans I think is incredible um I just think I I love how like it's it's over with it's been you know two days and people are still upset about it and I know like someone commented they're like um like basically saying that like you you were invented by Ames and Iowa State, come and go. Like how can you not show loyalty? Like people are almost going to be like kind of boycotting come and go and like going to like Casey's and stuff.

And I just think it's so funny. I saw someone actually tweet about how that Casey's was better than come and go. And I just think it's like, it's just absurd because you'll never find anywhere else that has this much beef with two gas station slash like convenience stores in the state of Iowa. And I think it is the most Iowa thing that I've ever seen. And I love it. Yeah, man. I don't know if that's something to be proud of for Iowa or embarrassed by for Iowa. But yeah, I mean, I like to think that I would handle a little bit differently. If Iowa lost to Iowa State, you know, hats off to them. You know, there's probably a few things that went

wrong. But man, there's some really salty Iowa State fans. One of the things that kind of a takeaway and one of the things I noticed from the Iowa-Iowa State game is that Oliver Martin didn't get in very much. And that was a question we had from one of our listeners. You know, Oliver Martin only got in for two plays. And people are wondering where the hell is Oliver Martin at. And I want to quickly cover this. One of the big things with Martin you've got to keep in mind is, yes, he was a four-star recruit. He is a great wide receiver.

There's a reason why Iowa wanted him on their team, right? But at the same time, Iowa's wide receivers are pretty darn good. And Nico Reganey is balling out right now dude he's second on the team in receptions I want to say he's second on the team in receiving yards as well I can I'll check that on a second but Reganey is balling out right now until Martin you know stepped over him as a player you know we're not going to see Martin nearly as much and especially in the game against Iowa State we weren't going four and five wide nearly as much. And especially in the game against Iowa state, we weren't going four or five wide nearly as much either. So that's also part of that reason. No. Yeah, I agree. I think that I really didn't know to expect the Nico going

into this year. I actually thought this higher on Tracy was a little better than Nico. So what he's doing that, and with the punt return or kick returns and just in that aspect too, is just incredible. And I just think that I, I'm really happy that we have a guy kind of stepping out and showing out no one really any expectations for him and he's just kind of coming in he's doing really well like I I love Oliver Martin as you could see the whole state of Iowa is having um he's in fits because he wasn't going to be eligible so I'm just really really happy that

you know we are able to get um Oliver Martin on the team because that's definitely an asset but for right now um I mean we have him we haven't for three years, I think Iowa knows what they're doing. You know, it's not the only year we have them. So they're kind of grooming them. They're going to be putting them in more guys. Don't worry. It was just a weird game and the game flow just didn't dictate him being in. But like I said before, uh, it would be kind of silly for us to sit here and be upset that we have this many options. You know, I think it's something to be happy about. Dude, I completely agree.

Trust the process as well. They're going to get Martin in when they feel like he's ready. But also, I think the big thing with Reganey is that Nate Stanley is kind of developing a chemistry with him. There was a specific play on third down. Iowa State was running zones. They were kind of, you know, sitting on Reganey, and he managed to work his way open. Nate Stanley was looking for him. It was, you know, a sixaining and he managed to work his way open nate stanley was looking for him um it was you know six seven yard pass but um those type of plays are the things that are

really going to sell coaches on keeping that kind of guy in if he has a relationship um that's developed with stanley we saw it a couple years ago with nick easily as well matt vandenberg was the guy coming in you heard a little bit easily comes in develops a quick relationship a quick you know work forward with nate stanley and becomes one of the team's best receivers. So I think we're kind of seeing something along those lines with the Ganey as well, just being such a reliable target. No, yeah, I completely agree.

I am interested to see though, we're playing Michigan, so I guarantee that Michigan game, they're going to want to put them in there more too. So don't be surprised for that game if they kind of want a little more revenge for Oliver. Definitely. And the weather also like

I said the weather had a big issue with it you can't go five wide when it's not like it's not like 10 catches either you know like he had a couple catches he's been doing well and that's like the thing like when when we scored a lot when I feel like when I just I don't I don't know what I'm really curious though like do you mean it looks like that I I don't know when Oliver's gonna get in though you know what I'm saying is he only gonna be in five wides like do you think like that's gonna be the only situation where he gets in until Nico proves otherwise like what do you think about that yeah I think so I mean I think until unless they start developing specific plays for him which I doubt they're gonna do I don't think he comes in unless someone's tired uh kind of like a more of a Max Cooper role from last year, you know,

coming in those four and five wides, and that's it. And unless he surpasses Tyrone Tracy or Regani on the depth chart, I just don't foresee it happening right now. I do think they are going to try to feed in the ball maybe a little bit more against Michigan. But even then, that's not really a Brian – sorry, let me excuse me. That's not really a Kirk Behrens move. Maybe a little bit more Brian Behrens,

but not really a Kirk Behrens move to feed someone like that just in spite of a team. So a brian well hey man um we're gonna take a quick break before we do that make a memory that lasts a lifetime and let the vivid seats app help you get to your favorite live event enter promo code kickoff at checkout to receive a discount of up to 100 do it now get some great tickets to a great game and have some fun all right we are back with segment number three we have a couple more questions we're going to get through on today's episode um again we're going to start this segment off with a little bit of an easy one and i think we're going to be probably uh not light with this

answer but who is your favorite batman um i'm going to say my favorite Batman is going to be, I'm going to say Christian Bale. It was so cheesy, but I love the voice. I'm Batman. I'm Batman. Rachel. Rachel. That's the best Batman.

I don't really, I'm not a fan of Ben Affleck. I'm kind of too young for the other guys, but I know Christian Bale, he's supposed to be a real dickhead, but I love his Batmans. And I mean, any Batman who's in with Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, I mean, that's just iconic. I don't know what your opinions are.

I'm sure we probably agree on this one. Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things, I think it's kind of an age gap, right? we are in that that's the era where it was christian bale christian bale is our batman ben affleck's garbage um who's the guy uh the twilight guy who's gonna be batman now oh pattinson yeah that's interesting i'm really excited to see how that actually works out but i just can't christian bale is my batman forever and always it's out yeah I completely agree I mean I don't think we had too much of a hot take on that one but we did have a listener who wanted that opinion and so that's our opinion guys Christian Bale I love man well hey another question we had Tyler Goodson why like why are we not feeding him

more what's the plan with him going forward obviously we're not in the coach's head but I think it's really telling that Tyler Goodson got carries in the first half of the game against iowa state a rivalry game on the road this is no longer a get his feet wet you know get him some carries here and there redshirt him like a henry giles or gills um situation last year i think they want goodson involved in the offense and i think as we continue to evolve this offense goodson's going to get more and more involved. You know, Makai Sargent's been fantastic. Torin Young's been really that good bulldozing back.

Ivory Kellett-Martin, though, is kind of – I think – I know the two deeps have him as the third running back, but I really feel like Goodson has definitely passed him up. I think we're going to see Goodson continue to get more carries as the season progresses. Yeah, I'm actually really interested to see – I love Goodson i mean that hit he had on uh eyesworth or ellsworth whatever his name is i was stiff dark shoves

in the ground um i i think he's really good i think he's kind of a generational running back that iowa hasn't really had in a long time i i i wonder what they're gonna do just because i think he could be a legit three-year workhorse starter. So I know, is Sargent and Young, are they both juniors? They're all juniors, man. Okay. So listen, I want Tyler Goodson to play a lot. But for the future of Iowa, so they have four games,

and they can still be considered a redshirt to play. So obviously this is the third one. And the fourth one is going to be Middle Tennessee, which isn't any kind of a rivalry or anything but I'm actually curious to see what they're gonna do because if they do play him then they're basically only like they I don't know what the positive is like another year of this whole three running back set next year is he gonna get ahead of? Is he going to get ahead of Torin Young? I don't know. I mean, I think I'm kind of biased, but I kind of like – I like Goodson and Sargent.

I think those over Young. I think Young is a good downfield runner. Obviously, he's a little bigger. But I just – I'm kind of on the fence of that because I kind of want them to save him just because I think that he could be something really special. And he, I,

I think having three years of Tyler Goodson would be disgusting. I think he's gonna be like, he could be like first team, big time. Good. Um, some type of JK Dobbins running back. Like I literally think he could be like,

like a huge prospect. You've got some hot takes there, but I love it. I don't disagree for the rest of it. I think he's good. Dude, he's doing this and running guys over. Is it Isworth or Ellsworth?

Ellsworth, Ellsworth, yeah. I think Ellsworth, they said he was all big 12. He's basically the Imani hooker of Iowa State, man. He plays a star position. I mean, he's just like that. I just think the fact that he's doing that already as a freshman, and he's going to get so much bigger with Doyle and Iowa and that whole weightlifting program.

I mean, I obviously want to see him play, but I also would love to see him kind of save him for the years to come. Like, what do you think just quickly? Yeah, I think, I think you got to play good to now. I think he's working his way. He needs to get, you know, even if it's three to five carries a game, I like Sargent as a starter because he falls forward a lot. I mean, you, you'll see him get hit at the three, you know,

with three yards in the line of scrimmage and he'll still make it six, seven yards down the field. So I like that from Sargent. I think Goodson brings that big playability that we wanted to get from Ivory Kelly Martin. And I think Iowa's going to continue to play the hot hand. If Goodson's having a real good game, they might see Goodson lead the team in carries. But I like the fact that the one thing people don't realize is a part of being a running back is pass blocking and Sergeant is a fantastic pass blocker. You'll see blitzes come up the middle and he he's willing to take those guys head on, which I think is a really big asset for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Another thing I wanted to get to before we close out the show.

Another question they had is who, who's expected to rest up for the Michigan game and who's going to be ready for the Michigan game. And I wanted to quickly run through the injuries, and maybe we'll just touch on a few of them. But right now, Riley Moss, Aleric Jackson, Julius Brents, Brady Reif, Matt Hankins, and Kayvon Merriweather are all out. Brandon Smith also had an injury to his shoulder, still returned last game. So that's also something to keep monitoring.

And I also thought Nate Stanley looked a little bit banged up towards the end of the game. But this is really something huge to keep watching over the next week and a half see how this all develops especially because the big thing is the Michigan game right and we're going to get to the Middle Tennessee State talk here in a bit probably at the beginning of next week I know Zach you have some good takes on that but out of these guys I'm really interested to see who can stay healthy I would honestly not be surprised if we don't see hankins merriweather reef brent jackson or moss in the middle tennessee state game i think we see smith maybe unless his shoulder starts bothering him but i think

all those other guys are definitely out yeah i mean i think that we saw the corner can kind of he can he's a has the ability and then um oh my gosh i am blanking was it johnson johnson played well too so i think it shows that those guys have the ability to play well and i think that with some practice they'll be able to be in there look i mean the michigan game is not the super bowl because i'd say the super bowl is going to be against wisconsin for the big 10 west but i think michigan Michigan if Iowa is real and Iowa's legit and you know they're gonna be one of these top teams talk about nationally we need to beat Michigan and Michigan looks very vulnerable right now so I mean I think just resting up and having our DBs

there Michigan has a stupid good receivers or wide wide receiver Shea Patterson's overrated but they still have really good receivers so I think having a healthy DBs and secondaries is essential so I mean I don't want to say like I don't don't think this is going to make a week 17 NFL where you just put all your backups in. But if these guys aren't 100%, I think we should rest them just because of, you know, what's at stake with Michigan. I don't know if you agree with that, Andrew. I completely agree, man.

I think Brents and Moss sound like they're going to be out even longer. But I think if Smith isn't ready to go, don't make him go. We have plenty of wide receivers. We have Martin. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that's one to plug that guy in. Plug that guy in. And then Reef. If Reef isn't able to play, or, him go we have plenty of wide receivers we have martin like you know what i mean like that's when you plug that guy guys in and then reef if reef isn't able to play or god i always mess up these names but um if reef isn't able to play davian nixon has looked great so far i'm really excited to see him in more of a developed role um same thing hankins i would

love to see hankins play but i thought dj johnson came on strong and he's expected to be our starting cash player so the more and more experience we can get him and then have Hankins come back. And then Merriweather, I don't really understand kind of what the injury is there and how long he's projected to be out. But Jack Corner seemed pretty well and played pretty well, and that was a really tight position battle throughout camp. So I don't feel like, you know, it sucks we're missing a starter, but I would consider that kind of 1A, 1B scenario with Corner as the 1B.

And then finally the big one is Aleric Jackson. And there's no way he plays against Middle Tennessee State. He's supposed to be ready for Michigan, right? He's supposed to be ready for Michigan, but they're kind of, you know, it's Iowa, man. They kind of hold their cards close to their chest, but I think Jackson's coming back from Michigan. Yeah, and just to end it off here, I do agree with you in all the points.

I think getting Johnson, the exposure is great, and it's always good to know what the cornerbacks are doing and the cash is doing. It's good to know where all the positions on defense are doing. That way you're kind of more well-rounded and more smart in the secondary. And also I think Aleric Jackson, I know Iowa keeps their cards close. I do think he plays in Michigan. He's too big of a player.

He's too big of a game. I think that the interfootball player in him is going to want to play. So I think that that's a good injury wrap up. I think you did. We did a good job touching on all those players. And these next couple of weeks will be interesting to see kind of how Iowa approaches this. You know, like you said, they keep their cards close. They don't really talk a lot about it.

So it's going to be kind of cryptic. Yeah, man. And we're going to get on the middle Tennessee State talk, like I said, next week. But you also made a good point of this isn't a team to just look past. So we'll touch on that next week. We have a lot more stuff to cover this week. We wanted to get to the AP Top 25 and just cover some of the games that we're excited about.

But show's a wrap, kind of running close on time. So we'll cover that on our Thursday morning episode. We appreciate you all tuning in to this episode of the Locked On Hawkeyes podcast.
