IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Zach Johnson was not the No. 1 golfer at Regis High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or at Drake University in Des Moines. But he improved every year until he made it to the Professional Golfers’ Association of America.

Sounds a lot like a University of Iowa football team that was a preseason pick somewhere in the middle of the Big Ten Conference West Division. Johnson now has 12 PGA Tour wins, including two majors, and the Hawkeyes enter the final week of October with a record of 7-0 and ranked 10th in the nation.
