* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players
that received the most playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups
and alternates. Their coverage will begin with our
full 2007 Preseason Preview due out this coming
spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS |
For
the first time in quite a while, a Kirk
Ferentz team underachieved in 2006. QB Drew
Tate, after promising campaigns the two
years prior, never lived up to the expectations
as a senior. They will start fresh at QB
in ‘07. Too much talent abounds on
both sides of the ball for this team to
carry over this past .500 campaign. Seemingly,
this team fares better as an underdog when
they drop off the Top 10 radar screen. If
this is the case, do not be surprised if
Iowa fights their way back into a winning
season and a say in who wins the Big Ten.
