The Iowa Hawkeyes under head coach Kirk Ferentz have been predicated on a few common principles. Among them is establishing the run to both control the clock and limit turnovers.
That’s often easier said than done, but in Iowa’s zone running scheme it depends on five quality offensive linemen and a running back with good balance, vision and an ability to burst through a hole to take runs to the next level. If you were writing a description of Deerfield Beach, Florida running back Jaziun Patterson, that’s a pretty good starting point.
Today, he’s officially an Iowa Hawkeye.
