He also had a few words on USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten. 

Afterwards, Down joins Kennington Smith for further Iowa football conversations. Last week, they projected which position groups might take a big leap; this week the duo debates which players on offense and defense are due for a breakout season. Finally, a conversation about Big Ten conference expansion and where Iowa sits in the new landscape.
