Ferentz on adversity: ‘It’s what you do in response that really matters’
Kirk Ferentz discusses a variety of topics ahead of Iowa’s matchup with Troy.
Coming off a disappointing 20-19 loss to its in-state rival, Iowa football is looking to get back in the win column with a Week 3 college football matchup against Troy (0-2) at Kinnick Stadium.
The Hawkeyes (1-1) are expected to cruise to victory in the home contest, despite concerns about their passing game and red-zone execution after last week’s performance. Still, the dominance of running back Kaleb Johnson and head coach Kirk Ferentz’s defense make Iowa a heavy favorite in this matchup.

Iowa vs Troy predictions, picks for college football Week 3Hawk Central columnist Chad Leistikow’s prediction for Iowa football vs. Troy
Iowa 38, Troy 7 … The forecast here is that Iowa plays with some fire after last week’s humbling outcome. After a no-catch game against Iowa State, tight end Luke Lachey finds the end zone for the first time since the 2022 Music City Bowl. And don’t be surprised if the defense posts its first touchdown of the season, too.
