Iowa Football is BACK w/ David Eickholt | WUW 708

Tyler Kluver and David Eickholt kick off the first Kluver & Eickholt Power Hour of the 2026 season, announcing another year of their weekly KF Press Review show and reacting to fall camp and the open practice. They break down the QB1 race, noting Jeremy Hecklinski’s rough early camp before a near-perfect open practice while Hank Brown struggled, and they also highlight freshman four-star Tate Bessinger’s natural talent and processing. The conversation turns to Iowa’s “three-three-six” schedule structure and the brutal three-game stretch vs Michigan, Ohio State, and at Washington, debating which is most winnable and the need to name a starter by Week 2. They discuss defensive concerns (especially defensive tackle, corner depth, and possible NFL-to-college return chatter), special teams turnover, and growing optimism about Tim Lester’s offense, improved receiver depth, a deep RB room, and DJV’s ceiling at tight end.

Kids Day Overreaction w/Kluver and Drake | WUW 707

On the Washed Up Hawkeyes podcast, the hosts discuss Iowa football camp and the Kids Day practice, focusing on the quarterback competition after Jeremy Hecklinski went OFF for 200+ yards and five touchdowns while Hank Brown struggled, and they debate Kirk Ferentz’s refusal to name a starter and why a clear QB leader matters. They also touch on Phil Parker’s surprising comments about facing Iowa’s offense, buzz around WR Tony Diaz and receiver standouts like Evan James and DJV, and optimism tied to the offensive line, tight end usage, and a deep running back room including Kamari Moulton and South Dakota transfer LJ Phillips Jr.’s 1,921-yard season. The episode includes sponsor reads, notes on Iowa’s ranking, Hawkeyes in NFL camps (including Drew Stevens winning a kicking job), and ends with an extended Pokémon collecting and gaming conversation.

How Does Iowa Match Up Against The Schedule? w/Jeff from Eyes On B1G | WUW 706

On this episode of the show, Tyler welcomes Jeff Buch ("Jeffrey the Greek") from the Eyes on B1G podcast to discuss Big Ten offseason chatter, social media drama sparked by Jeff’s position rankings, and how expanded 18-team perceptions affect fan expectations. They dive into Iowa’s approach to the transfer portal, noting savings from not buying a portal quarterback, confidence in Tim Lester’s offensive development, and the value of retaining and replacing starters with in-program depth—especially on the offensive line and linebacker. Key Iowa questions include the defensive line’s run-stopping and pass-rush potential, with mentions of Hubert, Gaffney, and edge options. They break down Iowa’s schedule as “3-3-6,” focusing on Iowa State, a tough Michigan/Washington/Ohio State stretch, and the back-half run through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois, and Nebraska. Jeff projects on what this season could be record wise as well as what success would be for this team. If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Ike Boettger on Retirement & Stally Brand | WUW 705

It's a Benton Boys reunion as we welcome former Hawkeye Ike Boettger to talk family life (three kids with a fourth due in January), retirement from the NFL, and feeling healthier after finding a concierge health approach. The group discusses the WNBA attention around Caitlin Clark, then shifts to Iowa football, including optimism around the offensive line, questions at quarterback, and the team’s 7.5 win total. Ike explains the growth of the Cedar Falls “Big Cat” linemen camp, now drawing 200+ kids and multiple pro players, and praises local standouts like Jack Campbell. He details how fluoroquinolone antibiotics and prednisone increased his Achilles rupture risk and contributed to back-to-back Achilles issues. Ike also outlines his premium Midwest-priced apparel brand Stally, its faith-driven mission, and plans for quarterly campaigns including building a tiny home for a homeless veteran.
