Before Iowa kicks off against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl on Saturday, our Hawkeye text group members sent in questions for a mailbag episode of the Hawk Off The Press podcast with The Gazette's John Steppe.

Among the questions:

• How has Iowa quarterback Joe Labas looked in practice?
• Biggest recruiting loss: Kyler Kasper or Kadyn Proctor?
• What does Iowa’s receiving corps look like?
• Is the “new and improved” Iowa offense progressing?
• Where does Kentucky’s roster stand entering the bowl game?

You can join our text group for free to submit questions for future episodes.
