Offense Matt Campbell has really leaned into trying to beat the Hawkeyes at their own game. To do that, you’re going to need a good running back. Insert Jirehl Brock.
Brock had a quiet 100-yard game with one touchdown. The Cyclones line did a seemingly good job, but the competition has increased a substantial bit this week. Iowa is likely to have one of the best defenses in the Big 10 including some great linebackers, more on them later.
For Brock to have a good game, the O-Line is going to have to crack the code on how to move the ball against Iowa.
