List of returning starters in FBS: Iowa 118 of 120

2011 Returning Starters!

Not sure I follow Steele. He says Iowa 5 on O 4 on D

Here is what I have

Offense 6

Coker
McNutt
Ferentz
Reiff
Zusevics
one of Gettis/McMillan

Defense 5

Daniels
Nielsen
Morris
Prater
Hyde

Binns was also a starter for many games.

 

[GravyJones]

I'd guess he's not counting Coker because Robinson was the main guy all year and maybe 1 of Nielsen/Morris?

 

[DuffMan]

Yeah, he's probably comparing the projected starters next year to the starters of game 1 this year. Regardless lots of turnover.

 

[JonDMiller]

Here are players with starting experience that return for Iowa in 2011

QB: Vandenberg
RB: Coker
FB: Rogers
OL: Ferentz, Zusevics, Reiff, McMillan, Gettis
WR: McNutt, Davis

That's 10 of likely 11 in starting lineup

Defense:

DL: Binns, Daniels
LB: Morris, Nielsen (did Dibona start?)
DB: Prater, Hyde

That's six

Help me out...I'm struggling to recall the game that Keenan Davis started this past season...

Yes I believed he did start maybe the Indiana game? Also if we are going previous starting experience you may throw in Bernstine at S even though he technically has never started there.

The most recent game

The most recent game

McNutt and Sandeman started the Insight Bowl...Davis plays the same position as McNutt and I don't think he started at all in 2010.

 

[JonDMiller]

Hmmm....just looked and Iowa listed both Brad Herman and Allen Reisner as starters for that game.

So swap Herman for Davis, get the same number

 

[spudhawk]

WR reps start stats are kind of weird, but Davis did see the field a lot this season. Also Herman should be listed as a returning start with as many snaps as he had this season. Rogers and Vandenberg are stretches as they have 1 and 3 games with significant PT. However Iowa does return a lot of snaps at o-line, TE, RB, DL, LB, and CB- the obvious experience weak points are WR, P, and S. Of those positions of weakness safety is obviously the most glaring as Sash and Greenwood have started a ton of games over a three year period for some of Iowa's best statistical defense.

I'm picking nits...Davis might not have starting experience, but he's got a decent amount of GAME experience, which will serve him well. Behind him, however.... in the experience dept.
