Stop No. 2 of 14 had us visiting Iowa City, Iowa, to watch Kirk Ferentz's 17th Iowa team.
Throughout Tuesday's practice, BTN.com senior editor Tom Dienhart, BTN host Dave Revsine and BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo tweeted their thoughts.

One thing that always stands out at Iowa practice is the communication between staff and players. Good teachers. Already evident today

Kirk Ferentz told me CJ Beathard has had a great camp - put in a ton of work in offseason and it has paid off - "he's grown 5 years"

Iowa seems a little undersized on the interior of the DL - will be interesting to see how that group holds up

LB Bo Bower is having a really nice day. Has made plays in pass coverage and in the run gm.

Beathard on time and on target in underneath game today - question with Iowa offense will be where the explosion comes from.

Final takeaway on Iowa: schedule is favorable & have talent to compete w/everyone on it, but not overwhelm anyone.Can they do little things?

BTN Bus Tour #Hawkeyes Still have to replace the 3 draft picks on the LOS but have good young talent to do so - won't happen over night.
