IF YOU MISSED A CHANCE TO SEE THE HAWKS LAST SATURDAY, YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE AGAIN THIS WEEK.
Good News
— Hawkeye Football (@HawkeyeFootball) August 14, 2012#Hawkeye Fans, we will have another open practice this Saturday.Gates open at 11:00am. Hope to see everyone out at Kinnick!
WHY ANOTHER OPEN PRACTICE? (Who is this guy and what have they done with Kirk Ferentz?) Well, Morehouse may have an answer. Following last Saturday's practice Ferentz talked about his young players needing live experience. About the running backs, Ferentz said, "we don't tackle a lot in practice and today was a big day. We may have to do more of it than we expected, just so we can find out how they play when they do get tackled. Brad has been in and out with injuries, too. It's hard to get continuity."
IOWA'S SECOND STRING QUARTERBACK IS STILL TBD. Cody Sokol looked the better of the backup quarterbacks Saturday. It was only one practice. Redshirt freshman Jake Rudock is preparing like he could be the first QB in if something were to happen to James Vandenberg. Rudock told Hawk Central's Ryan Suchomel, "All of us came here to play football. If you have to play a little earlier than they told you two months ago, then that's how it is."
IOWA IS REALLY PUMPING UP DON SHUMPERT. He appears to be Iowa's third option at wide receiver. Shumpert talked to Hawkeye Sports and says everything is great. He talks a little bit about receivers coach Erik Campbell, high school teammate Christian Kirksey and his goals for 2012.
IOWA'S SECONDARY IS SUPPOSED TO BE A STRENGTH. But, ESPN's Big Ten blog rates it as 8th best in the Big Ten. Adam Rittenberg sticks Iowa just behind Wisconsin and ahead of Penn State. Iowa is also behind Purdue and Illinois.
