This got me thinking. What percentage of plays does Iowa actually use a fullback anymore?

So I tried to look this up. I saw an article that before the Wisconsin game Pottebaum had played 185 snaps for Iowa. That was after 9 games. Iowa's offense I believe averages 53 snaps a game, so they would have around 477 snaps total after 9 games.

So does that mean that Pottebaum has played in less than 40% of Iowa's offensive snaps?

Situations like this is where putting guys in the draft leads to better recruiting, which leads to having a backup guy as capable as Lachey.

Go TEU baby.

He does also line up as TE and H-back. Not sure if they count him as a FB when he does so, or not?

Is Beau Stephens also out?

I think he is scheduled to play but snaps may be limited.
