Left tackle had been a serious question mark for the Hawkeyes this offseason, as the coaches struggled to find a player to replace Outland Trophy winner Brandon Scherff as the anchor of Iowa's offensive line. Lightly experienced sophomore Boone Myers had assumed the left tackle gig after Scherff's departure, but he struggled to impress during open practices in the spring and last weekend.
