Recently, Athlon Sports put out a top-60 running backs in college football ranking, and there were no Iowa football players on the list. I guess this shouldn’t be surprising considering the Hawkeye’s relatively atrocious ground attack last season.
The Hawkeyes started the season with what appeared to be a solid foundation with Ivory Kelly-Martin leading the way as the speed back and Toren Young coming in later in games as the power back to wear teams down. However, injuries and ineffectiveness quickly turned that on its head.
By the end of the season, it was neither of these guys who ultimately led the team in rushing.
