In Four Down Territory this week, Brian and Zach discuss reasons to be optimistic about the 2016 Hawks in First and Ten, get into the improved play of the secondary and the emergence of some young talent (Nathan Stanley, Keith Duncan) in Second and Short, examine concerns with the Iowa Hawkeye offense's ability to control the ball and the challenges with the QB / center exchange in Third and Long, and consider whether the passing game with CJ Beathard, Matt VandeBerg and George Kittle is ready to take off and if the 2016 Iowa Football season is really on the brink in Fourth and Inches.
