With the college football regular season officially over (except for that strange USC-Cal game that will actually be the last game on Saturday evening), awards season is officially upon us. While most of the national awards are still narrowing things down, the Big Ten Conference began announcing several individual awards and the All-Big Ten teams for defense and special teams on Tuesday. The Iowa Hawkeyes were well represented.
Senior cornerback Riley Moss was named the Big Ten Conference Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year after an incredible senior season for the Hawkeyes. Moss finished 11th nationally with four interceptions (ten players, including Iowa’s Dane Belton are tied for first with five interceptions) despite missing three and a half games due to a knee injury sustained on an interception against then #4 Penn State.
