The Big Ten's second worst statistical offense will be returning seven starters. Needless to say, there are two things to look at in that sentence. Firstly, there is the issue that Iowa was the Big Ten's second worst offense, as well as the 86th ranked offense nationally. Normally, this wouldn't be completely atypical ...Iowa Hawkeyes Spring Position Battles: Defense

There is good news and bad news in Iowa City. The good news: the 10th-ranked defense in the country will be returning eight players, including the entire defensive line.

It was a cold night at the Orange Bowl in Miami, with Iowa leading 14-0 and seemingly in complete control. Then the all-too-familiar happened.
