Position Changes:
I didn't see any new positions changes, but since the start of last year: Jacob Reisen is at FB instead of LB, Jason White is a DB instead of RB, and Cody Hundertmark is on the O-line instead of the D-line. There's probably more, but those are the ones sticking out at me.
CHICAGO!:
The 2012 schedule show the Iowa Hawkeyes opening the season against Northern Illinois is Chicago. This was done once before in 2007 and from all accounts was a smashing success. Like the 2007 game, this one is scheduled for September 1st over Labor Day weekend, so I'm guessing Hawkeye fans will show up in droves.
2012:
The schedule -
- 09/01 Northern Illinois
- 09/08 Iowa State
- 09/15 Northern Iowa
- 09/22 Central Michigan
- 09/29 Wisconsin
- 10/06 at Illinois
- 10/13 Penn State
- 10/27 at Michigan
- 11/03 at Indiana
- 11/17 Ohio State
- 11/24 at Minnesota
As I read more of the prospectus I'll be sure to post more of my thoughts. For now, what stood out to everyone else?
