I'll give you that the hawks oline controlled things - they had great movement - slanting NFL style, stretching the dline and sealing the backers. We didn't have an answer for it.

That's been Iowa's game for several years, and they ran it to perfection. Iowa's O Line dominated in the 2nd half. UNI's O Line was good also, but not as good as Iowa. Their running attack was the entire reason they won. Notice I said their running attack, not running back. Wiseman was running through massive holes.

don't pat them on the back too hard. They didn't run it to perfection the week before. Holes or not Weisman ran through a lot of tackles getting at least 2 key first downs most backs wouldn't have. I like how he runs behind his pads.

not only is iowa is a notorious slow starter, but they also have three new starters on that line. combine that with little to no talent at RB and things were ugly early. they have a ton of raw talent in their o-line three-deep though, so dont be too critical of the UNI front 7.

There's plenty of reason to be concerned about UNI's front 7, since Iowa isn't that good. If we got gashed by a top 15 team, it wouldn't be horribly suprising. Fortunately for Iowa, their level of competition doesn't increase much, since the Big 10 is God awful this year.

There are probably a lot of technique issues the UNI staff saw on tape that can be fixed. Improper leverage, taking on the blocker's wrong shoulder, bad angles...etc, etc. The best way to put it is that it's a work in progress for both schools.

we won't see a back the size of Weisman again all year. Besides they looked great against Wisconsin but the tackling was terrible in Kinnick

Iowa lists him at 6-0 225. If accruate, that's not that big. He did look bigger than that, so mabye Iowa needs to update their roster.

By comparison, YSU's top 3 RB's are 215, 225, and 220.

That's only because most teams have running backs and aren't reduced to using a fullback at that position. Having to do so is not a positive for Iowa. If bigger was better everybody would convert linemen to running backs.
