per the Quad City Times:
Iowa hopes to hit the gas and go in its first road test of the season today.
Following a string of sluggish performances coming off of bye weeks in recent years and slow starts in the first half of early-season games this year, the Hawkeye football team has had a recent focus on improved starts.
The results have been modest — Iowa has totaled seven points in the first quarter of games during its 3-1 start — but sustained drives in the opening quarter against Northern Iowa and Wisconsin provide the Hawkeyes with something to build on in today’s 2:30 p.m. game at Minnesota.
"The first couple of weeks, we came out slow," receiver Nick Easley said. "But the last two weeks, we got off to a better start, a faster start. We need to continue to do that moving forward. If we come out and get a couple of drives going initially, it gets everybody’s confidence up."
