There is plenty of debate about how much of a preseason is needed before a college football season could begin.
That will be determined by when players and coaches are allowed to return to campus when restrictions due to COVID-19 are lifted. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says this summer could be similar to the early 80s when he joined Hayden Fry’s staff.
And because of that Ferentz would like to see a month of strength and conditioning before players hit the practice field.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell played and coached at Division III Mount Union of Ohio so he is familiar with having a month to get ready for the season.
Campbell says a month was plenty of time to get ready.
