IOWA HAWKEYES
2013 Statistics:
SU Record: 8-5 (5-3 in Big Ten)
ATS Record: 8-5 (62%)
Over/Under: 7-5-1
Points Scored: 26.3 PPG (T-80th in FBS)
Points Allowed: 18.9 PPG (9th in FBS)
Odds to Win 2015 BCS National Championship: 100/1
2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 6
Defense: Starters Returning: 5
This program got back on track last season with eight wins, and now the Hawkeyes look to reach double-digit victories with their four best offensive players returning in RB Mark Weisman (974 rush yds, 8 TD), QB Jake Rudock (6.9 YPA, 18 TD, 13 INT), NFL-ready LT Brandon Scherff and WR Kevonte Martin-Manley (388 rec yds, 5 TD). The 236-pound Weisman is perfect for Kirk Ferentz’s power running scheme, while Rudock threw multiple TD passes seven times as a sophomore. Iowa lost All-Conference CB B.J. Lowery and all three starting linebackers, but the cupboard isn’t entirely bare on defense with CB Desmond King (69 tackles, 8 PD) and SS John Lowdermilk (78 tackles) starring in the secondary, and 290-pound DT Louis Trinca-Pasat (9 TFL) and 315-pound DT Carl Davis (4 TFL) clogging up the middle.
