I was going to put this as Young vs. Kelly-Martin, but I added others. I really like these two, but, in my opinion, IKM will be special. I really like what little we've seen of him. Either way, it's like a Bell/Stewart combo that will hopefully stay healthy for the next few years. I loved it at the end of a couple of the games this year (OSU, Nebby) that we put these guys in to "empty the bench" and they were nothing but fresh legs that could help run up the score on those two teams.
 
I think Toren Young is going to end up pretty high on the Iowa career rushing list before it is all said and done.

I also hope the coaches show more creativity in the use of RBs than they did last year. I know that has never been the case in the Ferentz era, but I, like many, was hoping for it last year. Certainly the pro-scheme Brian Ferentz was mentored in, NE, is known for creative use of RBs, playing to RB strength, hunting mismatches with their backs, etc.. I am hoping (not necessarily believing) that there were factors that prevented that from happening last season ,and I will see more in '18.
