IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The casual football fan doesn’t know (and probably doesn’t want to know) what goes on every snap between defensive and offensive linemen.

University of Iowa sophomore defensive tackle Nathan Bazata has flown under the radar this season while the Hawkeyes have won all six games and jumped to No. 17 in national polls.

“He kind of gets overlooked in there,” UI head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Bazata has been playing well.”

During Big Ten Conference wins against Wisconsin and Illinois, Bazata combined for six tackles.
