No. 25 Iowa eager to see offensive improvement in opener against FCS foe Illinois State
No. 25 Iowa will unveil what it hopes will be an improved offense under first-year coordinator Tim Lester when it opens the season against Illinois State in Iowa City on Saturday.

Spack quoted the tough-guy title character in the 1971 movie “Billy Jack” to make his point. “Billy Jack says, ‘You know what, I’m going to put my right foot on the side of your face, and there’s nothing you can do about it,’” Spack said. “That’s Iowa football. They’re going to try to run that outside sprint and inside zone and they’re going to say, ‘There’s nothing you can do about it.’”

Main Street Index Reports Iowa’s Rural Economy Is in a Recession
(Omaha) It’s the R-word for the Midwest rural economy. Recession. University Economist Ernie Goss says the Midwest region’s Rural Main Street Economic Index fell to 40-point-nine for August, showing negative growth. Farmland prices are falling, and agriculture equipment sales and farm exports are down. One bright spot for rural Iowa is that Iowa remains stronger, holding at 51-point-six.
