Iowa has had some tremendous defensive pairings over the years -- who might be next?
Dynamic duos have been a staple of Iowa football for years, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. In 2013 and 2014 Carl Davis and Louis Trinca-Pasat made a formidable pair at defensive tackle -- they combined for 186 tackles, 36 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 10 QB hurries, and no small amount of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Pat Angerer and A.J. Edds were the beating heart of Iowa's defense in 2008 and 2009, combining for 388 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 12 interceptions, 17 passes broken up, 5 QB hurries, and 3 forced fumbles, and who knows how many key contributions that didn't get record in the official statistics.
