On the Big 10 Preview Dinardo & Griffith

[Win5002]

both said Iowa is farther along than OSU & Wisconsin right now in camp after seeing all three schools.

Dinardo picks 1. Iowa 2. Wisc. 3. OSU
Griffith picks 1. OSU 2. Iowa 3. Wisc.

But its interesting Griffith went on to say Iowa's line problems were much to do about nothing and Hampton should challenge for the rushing title. If that analysis happens with the Iowa defense I have a hard time not seeing Iowa win the conference.

Yeah, but remember that other teams are deeper at back. We have one player who looks like he could challenge for the rushing title and a back up that anchored one of the most anemic rushing attacks in the nation last year. After that, a bunch of true freshmen.

So, one of the reasons Jewel might challenge is that he should get a lot of carries, which could mean he could challenge and Iowa still end up in the middle of the pack with regard to total rushing yardage.

Another thing to remark upon is that they also got to see Iowa further along in camp than tOSU.

As for Iowa's OL ... a lot still rests upon the health of the group.
