I didn't notice- did Taylor start over Hooker last game?

Interesting how Rugamba has gone from "the next Desmond King" to a backup.

Taylor started. Hooker replaced him in the first half and played the rest of the game. Parker said last week that Hooker is the starter.

Rugamba has been hurt after being suspended. Not sure about his status for this week. Parker put him in on nickel against Illinois and then said he shouldn't have played him.

Yeah. That's a head-scratcher. Did he believe the hype of his potential? I thought him and Jackson both looked like they could be really good.

Thanks, Rob. Didn't know this.

I saw Rugamba in on one play against Illinois and he was limping ... could not tell if it was his knee or ankle giving him issues.

Yeah Rugamba wasn't himself out there. I wonder if they'll have more of Hankins or him this week. Maybe the bye week has Rugamba back to 100%?
Will this be the week Iowa gets more pressure on the QB? NWs Oline isn't very good I don't think. Sure would be nice to stop the other team from putting up 400 yards on us and win in a more dominant way.
