Same deal as the Defense. Interested to see what others lineups might be.
And I just looked, Brandon Scherff had zero points his junior year.
You need to take this thing back to the drawing board, son.

On second thought, I think your roster is pretty close. The only change I'd make is swapping out Woodbury for Bulaga. Bulaga was a little iffy at times under the basket so I had to give the edge to Woody.OL:Gallery

But other than that you're right on.

Doesn't Iowa list two tailbacks and a fullback on the depth chart.

You cannot put Banks ahead of Beathard. You just can't. Beathard with good receivers would have set records that would never have been broken. Frankly, put beathard on that 2002 team and Iowa might have won the national championship, assuming you get a healthy Beathard.

I would count them. They were upper classmen under Ferentz..

I'd put Ryan Donahue or Jason Baker as punter.

Based only on what they did at Iowa, weighing a combination of their overall career and their peak, here are the 11 players who would "start". I think this overall offense gives Iowa the best chance to score points against a variety of defenses from across the KF era.
QB--Drew Tate
LT--Robert Gallery
LG--Brandon Scherff
C--Bruce Nelson
RG--Eric Steinbach
RT--Bryan Bulaga
TE--Dallas Clark
TE--Noah Fant
WR--Marvin McNutt
WR--CJ Jones
RB--Akrum Wadley
QB--Drew Tate
LT--Robert Gallery
LG--Brandon Scherff
C--Bruce Nelson
RG--Eric Steinbach
RT--Bryan Bulaga
TE--Dallas Clark
TE--Noah Fant
WR--Marvin McNutt
WR--CJ Jones
RB--Akrum Wadley
Kinda surprising how many people have omitted Steinbach on the offensive line. 2 time 1st team All B1G. He was the best OL in the B1G in 2002 year and was a good pro for a long time. Some don't even have him on the reserve list.
And no love for Mo Brown? When healthy he was probably the best WR of the KF era.

Like I said, OL was a tough choice. Also, I seriously considered Mo Brown as well. His 2002 was big for us, and I feel like of he hadn't been hurt in 03, he may have gotten a pro shot.
Not a lot of love for DJK either. While McNutt probably put together the best career at WR, DJK was the best WR I think Iowa has had. He could literally do it all, he could run every route, deep threat, catch screens, run after the catch, score, incredible feel for the first down line, return kicks, showed up in big games.
Hey to each their own. I get it. There would be a lot of tough choices at many positions.
Really there are probably 5 no-brainers that everyone would have on O & D. Because they were generational, best player or very close to best player at their positions ever at Iowa type of players.

DE Roth
DE Clayborn (AJE will be on this level a year from now)
LB Greenway
S Sanders
Even the big award winners: Banks, Greene, King, & Jackson could be argued against because of guys like CJ, Wadley, Spievey, & Hyde
