Iowa Football: Can we believe Kirk Ferentz when he says the offensive line will be much better?

Published: Aug. 1, 2023, 7:17 a.m.

Offensive line has been a calling card for Kirk Ferentz during his time as a football coach. He believes that we'll see a big step forward from the Iowa football offensive line this upcoming season. Can we believe him? Trent Condon returns for another edition of the Locked on Hawkeye Podcast and tackles that question and many others on the offensive line. What kind of step forward do we see from Logan Jones after his first year at center? Can transfer additions Rusty Feth and Daijon Parker help out this much maligned group? Is Mason Richman the next great Iowa tackle? And can Kirk Ferentz, Brian Ferentz and offensive line coach George Barnett find the right combination early in the season? Former Hawkeye basketball player Ahron Ulis is also in some potential trouble. Could it be a link to back in the gambling investigation? We speculate on that. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
